Marie Russell-Runyan, Carson, CA — The community is mourning the loss of Marie Russell-Runyan, who passed away recently. Marie was a beloved godmother, aunt, and friend, remembered for her strong, independent spirit and the deep love she shared with her family and friends.
Her goddaughter, Trinity Russell, expressed her heartfelt tribute on Facebook, saying, "My godmother Marie Russell-Runyan will always be a strong independent woman in my eyes. One who loves us with all her heart. She is a huge inspiration for me and was ALWAYS there for me. The proof is in every photo, from Disney trips and football games to graduations, birthday parties, and dance competitions. She is my best friend. The person I vented to. The person who always answered my calls. The person who always had my back, wherever & whenever. I am grateful that she got to spend her life around friends & family that loved her just as much as she loved them. I will forever be blessed to have had her in my life, she was and is such a bright light for many of us. I will continue to make her proud and carry her words with me for the rest of my life. I will hold her close to my heart and listen to the signs she sends me. It is my hope that everyone will take care of each other with compassion and strength just as she had throughout her life. I will always love you Nina. Rest In Peace."
Dave Rogers also shared his condolences, remembering her as a loving and devoted family member: "She loved you two so very much. Marie was always filled with love for everyone, and especially for family. The love she had for her mother and dad, Jimmy and Keith was unbreakable. I will miss her, and all the others that have preceded her. RIP Marie."
A fundraiser has been organized by Noah Russell to help cover the expenses for Marie’s cremation services, urn, and memorial service.
