It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Ronda Russell, of Palestine Texas on July 20, 2023, at the age of 64.

She will be lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Brandi Gage and Leah Jenkins, her sister Rikki Ames, and three grandchildren.  She was predeceased by her two brothers,  Randy and Ray Russell. 

Ronda worked as a chef for many years at Windermere Senior Living Home in Palestine.  She was an animal advocate and took care of many fur-babies during her life.  She was passionate about politics and a stalwart ally of anyone vulnerable or in need.

She was loved and will be fondly remembered by her friends and family members. 

“Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.”  --Vincent Van Gogh
