It is with great sadness and sorrow that the family of Patricia (Pat) Russell announce her passing on April 7, 2019 at Linhaven Home, St. Catharines. Pat, 81 years old, was the dear wife of the recently deceased John (Jack) Russell also of Linhaven. They had been married 61 years. She will be sadly missed by her children Beverley (David), John (Jen) and Glen and by her grandchildren Allison (Jan), Rob, and Rachael. Pat was the sister of Joyce (Conrad), Bill (Jacquie), and Mary-lou (the late Andrew). She was predeceased by her brothers David and John and her sisters Dorothy and Barbara. She will also be fondly remembered by Jack’s family: Cyril (the late Joan), Edith (Pat), Margaret (Neil), David (the late Elaine), Dianne (John), and Audrey. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews as well as long-time friends.
Pat was born in Niagara Falls to the parents of William and Florence Napper and then resided with her husband and children in Toronto, Owen Sound, Aurora, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Throughout her life, she enjoyed working at Zellers and Canadian tire. During retirement, she travelled to various parts of Canada, USA and Europe and put immeasurable kilometers on her car visiting family and friends. She has struggled in the past few years with Alzheimer’s Disease but was still able to join in the activities at Linhaven and scoot around in her wheelchair.
Pat’s family would like to thank the PSWs, Nurses and Doctors who cared and supported her during her time at Linhaven. Your care and dedication will always be remembered.
As per Pat’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
