GEORGE H. RUSSELL, of Milk River, beloved husband of the late Joan Russell, passed away peacefully at Raymond Health Centre, on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at the age of 93 years.

George is survived by his brothers-in-law: Bill Craik, Roy (Moira) Sandberg and Doug Sandberg; and sister-in-law Joyce Rollingson; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was “Uncle George the Great” to many more nieces and nephews, and he was even a great-great-uncle (he like that title).

He was predeceased by his brothers and sisters: Roy (Elsie) Russell, Elsie (Ernie) Halmrast, Ena Craik, Fergus (Charlotte) Russell, and Margaret Gowlland; sister-in-law Greata (Joe) Palyga; nieces, Joan (Ed) Barendregt and Debbie Sandberg; great-niece Kimberly West and two great-nephews, Andrew Palyga and Cody Russell.

George was a promoter of Milk River. He was very active in the community; he served on many boards and was always willing to flip hamburgers or pancakes. We will all miss his quick wit and humor.

A private family service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Salvation Army or charity of your choice.
