Brenda Faye Russell

November 18, 1951 - June 15, 2020

It would come to pass that on November 18, 1951, Lucy Faye Dawson welcomed her beautiful baby girl into the world and named her Brenda Faye Dawson. This all took place in the small town of Mexia, Texas. Brenda was the oldest of 5 children and attended the public-school system in Mexia and Level Land. Brenda was reared and baptized at their home church in Mexia as well. After marrying James Edward Russell, Sr., Brenda was blessed with two children, one boy and one girl. She had a love and strong passion for decorating as she did for many years. On Monday, June 15, 2020, the Lord called her home as her assignment here on earth had been fulfilled. She is preceded in death by the father of her children, James Edward Russell, Sr.; her biological father, Morris Collins; and her stepfather, Robert Rose. Those left to cherish the sweet and fond memories of her life are her children, Muzzet Russell, James Russell, Jr. (Shun), bonus son, Kinta Rose; mother, Lucy Rose; sisters, Linda (Marcus), Margaret Chapman; brothers, Donald Ray Rose and Webster Rose; a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, other relatives and friends.
