It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Russell Thurlow in his 81st year on January 11, 2019.
He was born August 9, 1937 on the farm that he continued to live on all of his life and his parents were William and Harriet Thurlow.
Russell had a wonderful sense of humour and appreciated good laughter. He took great pride in his farming and in working with cattle and he believed in hard work.
Russell is survived by his wife of nearly 62 years, Donna (Ingram); daughters Rhonda (Louie) Ross and Cynthia (Joe Giesinger); son Jason (Shannon); granddaughter Kim (Jason) Lesperance; grandsons Travis (Charnele), Colton, Payden, and Chris Boerma; great-grandsons Nixin and Van Thurlow; niece Alana Ingram, nephew Laurel Ingram as well as numerous other nieces, nephews and cousins.
At Russell’s request, a private family memorial will be held at a future date.
