A brother, Elwood, preceded him in death.

Russell was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church. He was active in Sunday School and Methodist Youth Fellowship of Christ United Methodist Church as a youth and in the work of the Church as an adult. He was presently a member of the First United Methodist Church in Mt. Pleasant.
