Ruth "Lillian" Russell
August 12, 1922 - January 3, 2016
RUTH “LILLIAN” RUSSELL Ruth “Lillian” Russell, also known as Meme to her loved ones, passed on January 3, 2016 at the age of 93. She truly was a member of the Greatest Generation. Hard work and impeccable morals were her trademarks. Born in Ohio and raised as a farm girl, her move to Vallejo during the Second World War allowed her to flourish in the warmer climate of California. She was an elementary school secretary in Vallejo for 32 years setting a standard of excellence that maybe equaled, but not exceeded yet today. Her active life centered on family, of course, but also her Eastern Star and Masonic organizations. She was a member of Silver Star #3 Order of Eastern Star and then after moving to Napa 13 years ago she joined Silver Spray Chapter #59 OES. She was preceded in death by her husband Ed in 1989. Survivors include her daughter, Carol (husband Lloyd Pool); her son Robert; two granddaughters, Shelly Stephens and Marsi Hammon; grandson Russell and their families. Her legacy lives on and she will be happy to be remembered as a loved and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Cremation and arrangements entrusted to the direction and care of Twin Chapels Mortuary, Vallejo (7070 552-6696. www.TwinChapelsMortuary.com
