Russell was an Army veteran. He worked at Ohio Brass and then Brosco where he later retired. He enjoyed fishing, bowling and going out to eat. Russell would always be tinkering around doing something. He was the life of the party with a contagious laugh and a smile that lit up the room.
Russell is survived by his daughter and son, Sherry Martin and John Brinley of Mansfield; three grandchildren, Kimberly Dawn Ringer, John Ringer and Roy Ringer Jr.; four great-grandchildren; sisters, Doris Gillum and Pat (Ken) Wheitner of Mansfield; and sisters-in-law, Annabelle Brinley and Olga Brinley.
In addition to his parents, Russell is preceded in death by his wife, Rita Brinley; five brothers, Jay Earl, Stanley, Ray, Dale and Keith Brinley; and sisters, JoAnn (Eugene) Whisler and Glenda Phipps.
A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2019, starting at 3:00 p.m. at the home of John Brinley, 796 Ferndale Rd. Mansfield. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in care of the family. The Diamond Street Home of Wappner Funeral Directors is privileged to have served the family.
