Jack Carter Russell, 81, of Rocky Point passed from his earthly life on Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at The Laurels of Pender.

He was born January 2, 1937 in Holmes, FL, the son of the late William Orell and Ecie Brasington Russell.

Jack is survived by his wife of 51 years, Faye Calloway Russell; daughter, Karen Russell; son, WC Russell (Sharon); grandchildren, Taran Russell and Jake Russell; and sister, Rosalind Nichols.

Jack was retired after working as a telephone installer for 30 years, having worked for Western-Electric, AT&T, and Bell South.

Jack was a loving husband and devoted daddy, granddaddy, brother and friend. He had a love for music and enjoyed singing in the church choir. In years past, he coached soft ball games and served as umpire. Later in life fishing was high on Jack's list of fun things to do. Cherished memories of Jack will remain in our hearts.
