Russell O. Anderson, 55, passed away peacefully on Oct. 26, 2004. Russell was born Nov. 11, 1948 in Mount Pleasant UT to LaRay N. Anderson and Mathel Walker Anderson.

Russell graduated from North Sanpete High School, Snow College, Utah State University, and completed his medical degree at University of Utah, followed by a residency in San Bernardino, California. He established his medical practice in North Logan where he continued until his retirement in 1998. He was a compassionate family physician whose caring service to the community is missed.

He served a full-time mission to Ireland, and enjoyed giving service in many church callings. He married Julianne Howell in the Manti LDS Temple on September 18, 1971, and their love continues eternally.

Russell's greatest accomplishment was his loving dedication to his wife and children, and his example to them in living the gospel of Jesus Christ. Russell is survived by his wife, Julianne Howell Anderson, and six children, Richelle (Andy) Lay, Shawn (Mindy Lee), Bart, Derek, Kurt, Ashley, and three grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his older brother Ivan L. Anderson.

Funeral services will be held 1:00 pm Saturday, Oct. 30, 2004, in the North Logan Green Canyon Stake Center 1850 N. 400 E. A public viewing will be held 6-8 pm on Friday at Allen-Cranney Mortuary. In lieu of flowers it is suggested that a written memory of Russell be given to the family.
