Devie Russell

I think Devie did go to Missouri Avenue   It doesn’t seem like she went there all through elementary school though. You’re right, Gilbert, it was a long time ago! I have an old autograph book and she did sign it. It seems like that may have been around the 5th grade?

I am so sorry to hear of Devie’s passing. I have always thought of her as my friend all through school as we grew up. She was always such a sweet, nice person. I don’t remember her ever saying an unkind word about anyone. She was one of the first people from our school days I reconnected with after I retired and I am so very glad that I made two trips to Odessa to visit her. She’s will be missed. Prayers sent for her family. She loved her children and grandchildren greatly and spoke very fondly of them.
