Russell was born Aug. 17, 1957, in Bakersfield, California, to Wynona (Beeler)  and Roy Woodall. He passed away peacefully on April 26, 2025, in Roland.

On September 20, 2014, he married the love of his life, Velma Woodall, in Gans.

Russell was a man of strong faith, a devoted servant of the Lord, and a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He enjoyed simple pleasures — watching westerns (especially “Gunsmoke”), fishing, swimming, and spending time cruising with Velma. He also had a passion for making homemade beef jerky, which he loved to share with family and friends.

Russell is survived by his wife, Velma Woodall; his son, Treint Woodall; his daughters Shanea Reed (Colton Reed), Lakesha Parkerson (Cody Parkerson), Stephanie Goad (Rob Chronister), and Tarah Vest; grandchildren Noah Reed, Bryson Reed, Makenzy Irvin, Rynlee Parkerson, and Tylor Griffin (Kaley Harrower), Conner Griffin; and great-grandchildren FinLee Harrower and Asher Griffin; his brother, Richard Dawson (Janis Dawson), along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many cherished friends.
