Barbara was born on June 19th, 1939, in Shelby, North Carolina and passed away on March 6th, 2026, in Delhi, Louisiana.

Before her retirement, she served faithfully as an office manager, bringing organization, care, and a steady hand to everyone she worked with. At home, she found joy in the simple, meaningful things like shaping ceramics with her hands, canning vegetables from the garden, and gathering close with the family she cherished so deeply. Barbara had a generous heart, especially for our veterans, and she devoted her time to supporting and honoring those who served. She will be remembered for her warmth, her giving spirit, and the love she poured into every part of her life.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Ferry Alvin Russell; and two children.

Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Judy Annette Russell Blazier; son, Kermit Alvin Russell; grandchildren, Cheryl McPherson, Robert Jinks, Ryan Russell, and Michelle Russell Brown; seven great grandchildren; and three great great grandchildren; as well as a host of friends and loved ones.

The pallbearers will be Ryan Russell, Jake McPherson, Matt Jones, Hunter Brown, Robert Jinks, and Greg Prisock.
