Cheryl Russell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Covington Funeral Home on Dec. 29, 2025.
Cheryl Darlene (Davis) Russell, "Dee Dee", 57, entered the arms of her Savior Jesus Christ Thursday, December 25, 2025, at home surrounded by her loved ones.
Dee Dee was born January 14, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee to Sherrie and James Houston Davis. She married the love of her life Larry Kevin Russell on April 14, 1995.
Dee Dee was a devoted member of the City of Refuge Church in Munford, Tennessee where she found peace and refuge. She was known for her beautiful cake decorating abilities and her cooking. Aside from these two hobbies, she enjoyed crocheting and spending time with her family. She had a huge heart for animals and found joy in taking care of them.
She is survived by her mother, Sherrie Davis; her sister, Tammy Weaver (Darrell); her brother, Randy Davis (Holly); her husband, Kevin Russell; her sons, Cameron Wiseman (Tiffany), Zachary Wiseman (Dayshia), and Tristan Russell; her three grandsons, Alex Wiseman, Toby Kimbrel, and Sylas Wiseman; her two bonus granddaughters, Alexa Kimbrel and Alaina Morgan; her aunts, Susan Burke and Marlan Stepp; her uncle, Wolfgang Callahan; her 10 nieces and nephews; her 8 great nieces and nephews, and her beloved fur baby Cecilia Cheyenne "CC" who was loyal until the very end.
She is preceded in death by her father James Houston Davis, and her uncle Luther Edward Davis.
She will be deeply missed, and her "give you the shirt off her back" spirit will never be forgotten. Her strength and determination will live on through her family.
Visitation will be held from 11am until 1pm on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with the service to follow at 1pm, at the City of Refuge Church, 220 Beaver Road Munford, TN 38058.
