On February 8, 1947, Sue was born to George and Jane Ward in Birmingham, AL.
She worked for Walmart for many years before retirement.
Sue’s joy in life was time spent with her family. She especially enjoyed their time at their ranch in Wyoming and loved nothing more than spending time with her grandkids Cody, Reagan and Austin. She loved being with them and doing whatever they wanted to do.
Sue is survived by her husband of 52 years Joe D. Russell; her son, Scott Russell (Laurie) and daughter, Kelly Reed. Sue is also survived by her grandchildren Cody Russell, Reagan Russell and Austin Reed.
Sue was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Richard Ward and Bob Ward; her son-in-law Clai Reed and her granddaughter Grace Reed.
The Russell family will receive friends at 2pm Monday, March 5, 2018, at Culley’s MeadowWood Funeral Home - 700 Timberlane Road and the service will follow at 3pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation to Big Bend Hospice in Sue’s memory.
