Mona Russell

Mona was an amazing woman, a colleague and a great friend. I deeply cherish my memories of our time together. She will be remembered lovingly by so many. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Russell was kind, supportive and one of my favorite people from Bishop Foley. She always smiled and greeted everyone as she walked the halls. It still amazes me that she knew all of the students´ names on the first day of school and continued to genuinely care how we were doing. May her memory be a blessing.

Mrs. Russell was a force to be reckoned with. She touched my life in away I´ll never forget. She showed faith in me when no one else did. She showed me I could be someone, I could even be proud of. The memory I probably hold the dearest is when she handed me what should have been my diploma. She was so proud, and her pride in me, made me able to feel pride in myself. I´ll never forget those infamous pink notes - I received many. Her kindness touched many students lives and we´re all better...

She was such an amazing influence on me and my friends during high school. Always patient and kind even though we may have violated the dress code, and were getting a detention. She counseled me when I lost my sister to cancer. She was always smiling and was so easy to talk to everyone loved this angel she was also a wonderful art teacher , she was encouraging and not discouraging I regret that I didn´t tell her all this and how high school was better because she was there rest in peace...

She was of great support and encouragement to me as I transitioned out of high school, through college and in to adult life. We stayed in touch for a number of years and she reminded me always that if I was ever away for a bit of time we´d always catch up right where we left off. One of the gentlest souls I´ve known and made every moment meaningful! Peace to all who mourn her loss and may we continue to see glimpses of her spirit acting all around us.

She was so supportive when I was in high school. Her kindness really left an impact.

The obituary said is perfectly ...she made a difference in all the lives she touched.

A lovely and kind spirit that graced our lives as neighbors, and then friends.
