Wanda Juanita (Swick) Russell, 88, died peacefully at home on February 6, 2024.

Born March 9, 1935 in Clarksburg, WV, she was the daughter of the late Bailey and Reinus (Wadding) Swick. Wanda was a kind and generous person who changed the lives of everyone she met. Though she had no children of her own, she never missed a family gathering or special occasion to celebrate with her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Wanda was a dedicated volunteer at the VA Hospital for nearly 30 years. In earlier years, she worked at Maidenform. She was a longtime resident of Lumberport and graduated from Roosevelt Wilson in 1955.

Wanda is survived by her loving sister Margaret Rexrode, with whom she lived for the last five years. She is also survived by three brothers: Clinton Swick, Augusta, KS, Theron and Pat Swick, Augusta, KS, and Gerald and Sherry Swick, Nashville, TN. Wanda is also survived by many nieces and nephews, including two special nieces who lovingly cared for her during her final years.

Wanda was preceded in death by her loving husband of 20 years, Glenn Russell and four siblings: Marie Jahn, Delores Swick, Linda Swick, and Howard Swick.
