Russell Lemley

Russell Wayne Lemley passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 31, 2013. Russell was born on May 19, 1955, in Marengo, Iowa, to Wayne and Sylvia Lemley.

Russ lived life to the fullest. He loved & cherished his family especially his grandchildren. He loved his family vacations & the many 2nd honeymoons that he and his wife, Donna, took. Russ loved the outdoors - fishing, hiking, boating, and riding his ATV in the woods. He enjoyed water skiing as well as driving the boat so others could experience the fun. Russ especially enjoyed vacationing in Minnesota each year, and shared the vacation with many family members. He was a great photographer and took many wildlife pictures. He also inherited the ability to fix anything from his Dad, and was always looking for ways to help others. Russ worked for UPS as a package car driver for over 30 years. Oh how he'll be missed!
