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.

This is so sad to hear about Devie. I know she had been experiencing some problems a few years ago.  She lived in my old adobe house in Roswell for seven or eight years and left there I'd say about five years ago.

My heart goes out to her family and friends.

If anyone would like to here more about her condition as I knew it, contact me privately.

God Bless her.
