RUSSELL, BARBARA JOAN It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Joan Russell of Doaktown, beloved wife of Myles Russell. Her death occurred on January 26, 2007, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born in Campbellton, NB, on April 1, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Stanley and Frances MacKenzie. Besides her husband, she is survived by four daughters: Carolyn Russell (George Hadjiantoniou) of Toronto, Janice Price (Wilfred) of Ludlow, NB, Nancy Carleton (David) of Victoria, BC, and Heather Russell of Kincardine, ON; and one granddaughter, two grandsons, and two step-grandsons. She is also survived by two sisters, Marion Hinton (Lloyd) of Aurora, ON, and Ann MacKenzie of West Vancouver, BC, and one brother, Frank MacKenzie (Margaret) of Calgary, AB. She was predeceased by one brother, Robert. Joan led a very active life. She was well known for her service to her church and to the Doaktown community. She was a member of the St. Thomas United Church, an active member of the UCW and other committees, and choir director for the past 30 years. Her outstanding ability as a soloist was recognized over many years; her beautiful soprano voice endeared her to many people. In her own words, she sang not for self-gratification, but to the glory of God. And Joan was a true servant of God. She was well known for her kindness to others, especially those in need of comfort. She made numerous visits to people all over the Doaktown area, often taking along some of her cooking, especially during the Christmas season. She repeated this gesture of good will, year after year. She always exhibited a friendly smile, a warm greeting and an infectious laugh. Her cheerful manner was always abundantly evident. Visitation will occur at Davidson's Funeral Home in Doaktown on Monday, January 29th, from 7 - 9 PM and Tuesday, January 30th from 2 - 4 PM and 7 - 9 PM. A celebration of her life will take place on Wednesday, January 31st, at St. Thomas United Church in Doaktown at 2 PM. Interment will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made to the St. Thomas United Church or the Self-Help Group in Doaktown. The family wish to thank the medical and nursing staff in the Intensive Care Unit as well as the Social Services Unit of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital for their professional and compassionate care provided during the period of Joan's recent illness.
