Submitted by: T.D.

Ronnie, a respected resident of Durant, Oklahoma, and beloved family member, left this life in Denison, Texas and arrived in the arms of his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 at the age of 71. He was born in Durant, Oklahoma to L.B. and Ellen Lucille (Adair) Russell. Ronnie married his sweetheart Janelle Barnes in Sherman, Texas on December 22, 1966.

Ronnie served his country and state in the Army Reserves. He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church in Durant, was employed with Coldwell Banker VanMeter Select Realty and dedicated many years of his life, along with Janelle, to ranching and raising cattle. Ronnie also enjoyed the quiet solitude of trout fishing and hunting when he had the opportunity, but most of all he loved attending his grandchildren's activities: softball games and livestock shows. He cherished the times they spent together.
