Karen Lagel Russell Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate Karen Lagel Russell (Greensboro, North Carolina), born in Rock Hill, South Carolina, whose life came to an end on February 15, 2026 at the age of 57, leaving behind cherished memories. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one.

As Karen departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Karen may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Karen leaves behind.
