Born: Nov 21, 1927
Date of Passing: Jun 15, 2023
Offer Condolences or MemorySAMUEL RUSSELL (RUSTY) SANDERSON
Peacefully, surrounded by his loving wife and family, Russell Sanderson went home to be with his Lord and Saviour on June 15, 2023, at the age of 95 years.
Dad was born on November 21, 1927, as the youngest of 11 children to Frank and Louisa Sanderson in Reedy Creek, Manitoba.
Dad married Mom (Mabel Asham) on October 5, 1957. They loved each other dearly and were each other's support, safety and soulmates. They were married for 65 years.
At the age of 11, Dad gave his heart to the Lord. Dad served his beloved Lakeview Chapel as a Board Member for 60 plus years. He kept his lay papers current right up until his passing.
Dad loved Mom so deeply. He would tell her so right up until the end. He would tell us kids that he loved us and he was concerned about our personal walks with Jesus. As the days of his earthly life came to an end he never complained, he praised God through the pain. Even as age took his voice, he sang and praised the Lord until he could no longer speak.
Left to mourn his passing yet rejoice in his holy reunions are his beloved Mabel “Mickey”, Yvette (Lorne), Buck (Rachel), Lisa (Tom), Bev (Barry), Jeff (Tira), Tillou; grandchildren, Nikki (Cyrus), Channy (Moose), Corinna, Carrie Joy (Destiny), Katrina, Harley (Davis), Jared, Louisa (Josh), John Russell (Kim), Dawn (Dylan), Brianne (Jason), Brad, Lily, Lucy and Ava; 29 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren, brother-in-law Bobby Rodericks, sisters-in-law, Rose Sanderson and Bev McIntyre, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Thank you to Dr. Blais, Prairie Mountain Health Managed Care and Nurse Tammi Scott from Palliative Care. Through their support we were able to keep Dad at home where we provided tender, loving care until his final breath. Special thanks to John Russell and Dad’s “butlers”.
A wake for Russell will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023, beginning at 5:00 p.m. from Lakeview Chapel, Kinosota, MB. Funeral Service and celebration of Russell's life will be held on Sunday, June 25, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. from Lakeview Chapel, Kinosota, MB. Interment in the Lakeview Chapel Cemetery.
If friends so desire, donations in Dad’s memory may be made to Lakeview Chapel, General Delivery, Kinosota, MB R0H 0L0.
