Elaine Nina Russell
1940-2022
Elaine Nina (Meister)
Russell – age 81, of New Ross. On April 16, 2022 she passed peacefully
in the Valley Hospice, Kentville, surrounded by family. Born on July
10, 1940, in New Ross, Elaine was a daughter of the late John and
Rosella (Zink) Meister. She is survived by her husband, Barry;
children, Eilene, Charlotte, Devry and Tanya (Greg); grandchildren,
Sarah (Brett), Mitchell and Michael; and sisters, Alberta and
Gloria.
In her early years
Elaine worked at the local post office. In 1967 with her husband
Barry, they purchased the local service station and worked side by
side running Russell’s Service Station and a forestry
business until her passing. In her bookkeeping course, she proudly
graduated with honours. She had strong business skills and often
received compliments on the quality and care that went into her
accounting work.
Elaine was a devoted
wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. Elaine was known for
her strong work ethic and sense of humour. She enjoyed the simple
pleasures of life, often watching birds and gardening. She found great
joy in attending antique auctions and live music concerts. She was a
talented cook and spent countless hours in the kitchen. Her baking,
cooking and cake decorating skills were enjoyed by
many.
We would like to thank
Dr. David King, of Halifax, for the exceptional care over the
years.
She was predeceased by
her sister, Carolyn and half siblings, Calvin and Corinne. There will
be a private family service followed by burial in the New Ross Baptist
Church Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Valley
Hospice Foundation. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
