It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Armond Russell at the age of 79 after a short battle with cancer which ended peacefully with his family by his side on November 13th 2020.
He moved from Miramichi N.B. to B.C. in 1964 to work as an underground miner, later taking his family to Houston where he retired from the department of highways as an equipment operator. Armond dearly loved camping, fishing, hunting and everything the great outdoors had to offer. He continued to enjoy fishing after retiring to Merritt 7 years ago.
He is survived by his loving wife Mary Lou of 55 years, his daughter Alison Daley (Derrick) of Langley, B.C., and son Tracey (Carolynn) of Vernon, B. C. Grandchildren Jamie(Kali), Brandon, Darren, Tyler, Crystal(Matthew), Justin, Cadrin, Carrena, William, and great grandchildren Lucas and Farrah.
He is also survived by his sister Irene Costigan of Harbour Main NFLD, sister-in-law Heather Russell of Miramichi, N.B. and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He was predeceased by his mother and father, Stella and William Rousselle, his twin brother Raymond Russell, daughter Juanita Randall, and his brother-in-law Ed Costigan.
Armond will be forever remembered for his sense of humour, generosity and love for his family and friends.
There will be no formal service by his request.
