Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Esther
Marie Russell, a humble and loving matriarch, on March 1, 2025. Born in
Davenport, IA, USA on December 26, 1927, Esther lived a full and joyous
life, deeply rooted in family and service to others. For 35 years, she
made her home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where she created countless
memories and left an indelible mark on the hearts of those she
encountered.

Esther's life was a testament to the sentiment, "The best way to find
yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." As a devoted
member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, she found immense joy in
volunteering at the soup kitchen for 15 years & the Catholic Daughters
of America. She also donated her time cooking at the Knights of
Columbus. Her professional life was spent as a Brazing Technician with
Techni-Braze, INC, a role she fulfilled with dedication until her
retirement. In her spare time, Esther was an accomplished cook who loved
nothing more than to gather her family and friends around a table full
of her delicious creations.

Esther was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend. She will be
forever remembered and missed by her children Brian Russell, Sharon
Waters, Colin Russell, and Todd Russell. Her memory will also live on in
the hearts of her eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and
three great-great-grandchildren. Esther was preceded in death by her
parents, Clyde and Edith Trower, her loving husband Donald Russell, and
her children Ginger, Arden Russell and Granddaughter Kaitlyn.

To celebrate and honor the life of Esther, we invite you to share your
memories and upload photos to her memorial page. The stories and
pictures of Esther will serve as a testimony to her beautiful life and
the positive impact she had on everyone she knew. Your contributions
will be a source of comfort and a lasting tribute to this remarkable
woman.

Services will be announced at a later date
