Beula Russell

(From Simpson Funeral Home)

With a spirit as bright as a summer's day and a heart as deep as an ocean, Beula Eileen Russell, nee Sacket, of Carthage, Missouri, gracefully completed her earthly journey on January 27, 2026. Born on June 26, 1939, in Minneapolis, MN, Beula lived a life full of love, laughter, and endless dedication to her family and those around her. A woman of remarkable resilience, Beula embraced life with a vibrant fervor that was infectious to everyone she came across.

Beula married her best friend and soulmate, Dan Russell, on August 31, 1967. Together, they created a beautiful family and a life filled with cherished memories. 

Beula's professional journey was as impressive as her personal one. She served as an Office Manager at a Private Health Practice before retiring in 2001 from the University Medical Center in Tucson, AZ. Her contribution to her field was significant, and she earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues and subordinates alike.

Beula's radiant spirit will continue to shine through her loving husband, Dan Russell, and their beloved children, Melanie Epperson, Daniel Russell, Mollie Ramos, and Mike Allison. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Lela Sacket, her daughter, Melinda Warren, and her granddaughter, Breanne Erkers. Beula's legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her.

The family will be holding a service to celebrate Beula's life on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 10:00 am CST at Simpson Funeral Home, 400 West Daugherty Street, Webb City, Missouri, 64870. Services are under the direction of Simpson Funeral Home.
