Lawrence Glenn Russell's Obituary
Lawrence Glenn Russell of Holdenville passed away in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday morning, December 9, 2012, at the age of 63 years.
Glenn was the son of Elmer Arthur Russell & Ruth (Valentine) Russell, born on December 14, 1948, in Hobart, Oklahoma. He was brought up and attended schools in Pampa, Texas. He joined the U.S. Army and served during the Vietnam era. Following military service he returned to the Pampa area, where he lived for many years and worked as a truck driver and rancher.
Glenn moved to Wewoka, Oklahoma in the late 1980s. He married Brenda Diacon on June 26, 1987, at Fort Smith, Arkansas. They lived in New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma, where Glenn worked on large ranches and drove trucks cross-country.
Glenn was known by family and friends to be just a little ornery and very outgoing, a genuine Cowboy who never met a stranger. He loved to fish and he loved John Wayne. He was a member of the Fairview Cowboy Church.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Elmer & Ruth Russell.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 25 years, Brenda, of the home; four children: Bobby Russell and wife Shelly, and Tammy Russell Owens and fiancee Larry Lodge, all of Amarillo, Texas, Bill Bates and wife Lisa, and Kevin Bates and wife Robyn, all of Holdenville; fourteen grandchildren: Zachary Russell, Zane Russell, Zander Russell, Zoe Russell, Zeb Russell, Hunter Owens, Sean Owens, and Lauren Owens, all of Amarillo, and Harley Bates, Jaclyn Bates, Cody Bates, Danika Bates, Will Douglas, and Noah Higgins, all of Holdenville; one sister, Carolyn Wallace of San Antonio, Texas; his stepfather, Jack Boyett of Hobart, Oklahoma; his mother-in-law, Dean Diacon, of Holdenville; nieces and nephews, various other relatives, and many friends.
Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. and Glenn will be laid to rest in the Fairview Cemetery near Yeager, Oklahoma, with Rev. John Roberts officiating.
Fairview Cemetery is located 3-1/2 miles NE of Yeager, at the corner of North 377 Road & East 126 Road.
