Born on February 6, 1932, in Jadden, Indiana, Russell lived a life defined by hard work, dedication, and a commitment to family and friends.

Russell dedicated many years of his professional life as a millwright at Dielh Machine in Wabash, Indiana, where he earned a reputation as a good man and a hard worker.

He will be remembered affectionately by his stepdaughter, Peggy (Lane) Wiegert, three grandchildren, eleven step-grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and fifteen step-great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Virgil Hults; his mother, Doris Hults; his sister, Marjorie Smith; his brother, Jerry Hults; and step daughter Kandi Ross. Their absence will be felt profoundly by all who knew Russell.
