Randall, the fourth of seven siblings (Billy Jr., Jeanette, Velma, Ed- win, Katherine and Angela). Growing up in Portland, she attended High- land and Boise elementary schools and Jeffer- son High School. She was a loving daughter, sister, mother, aunt, cousin, friend and grandmother. She was known to be kind, sweet, humble, fun, funny and undeniably beautiful inside and out. She enjoyed cooking, spending time with her family, watching her favorite television reality shows and being a connoisseur of crispy fried chicken. Her spirit made you feel loved, nurtured and supported. Her greatest strength was the love for her three handsome sons, Dee, Marcell and Martez. She instilled in them to love one another, be re- spectful, and to not judge others. She practiced what she preached with leading by example. She was preceded in death by her parents; a sister Carolyn, and brother Edwin Russell. Survivors include her sons; a brother William (Billy) T. Russell Jr., and sisters Jeanette Russell, Velma Russell, Kath- erine Russell, and Angela Russell and Meesha Russell; grandchildren Maliah Russell, Cecelia Russell, Delilah Russell, Destin Russell, Mala- chi Branch, Ma’Kal Branch and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.
