Patricia Ann Russell

May 24, 1955 - December 20, 2021

Patricia Ann Russell, 66, of St. Albans, WV, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 20, 2021 at 4:06 p.m., surrounded by her loving family. Patricia was born in South Charleston, WV, to the late McAdoo and Martha (Adkins) Russell. She never married or had kids of her own, but she took her nieces and nephews under her wings and loved and raised them like her own. She loved her family more than life itself. She attended CNA school and worked for many years as a caregiver for the elderly, then as a daycare teacher, and homemaker in her later years. No matter what she did in life, she did it with all her heart. She was truly the kindest, gentlest, most selfless, and caring person. She was definitely one of a kind. She was preceded in death by her parents, McAdoo and Martha Russell; brothers, Donald and Bernie Russell and brothers-in-law; Wade Richard and Joey Ray. Left behind to mourn her early departure are her sisters, Virginia Ray and Lori Richard; nieces Johanna Bossé, Tiffany (Mat) Sorgman, Nicky Richard, Danielle Richard, Jade Richard, Jessica Richard, and Julianna Bossé; nephews Joseph Richard Jr. and Mikael Bossé Jr.; and many cousins and friends whose lives she touched. There will be a private family graveside service Monday, December 27, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. with Reverend Ravi Isaiah officiating.
