LOGAN, UTAH - Russell V. Anderson, 69, passed away April 3, 2000, after a courageous year-long battle with a brain tumor (glioblastoma multiforme). His lifelong choice of good habits carried him through the long, slow process of dealing with the brain tumor with dignity and strength.
Russell was born March 17, 1931, in Burley, Idaho. He grew up in College Ward, Utah, the son of Cyrus and Hazel Nye Anderson. He married Josie Mae Seamons, on July 22, 1949, in the Logan LDS Temple. She died December 15, 1981. He married Ruthann Bassett Killam on September 30, 1982.After learning farming skills from his father, Russell delivered milk door to door from 1949 to 1973. In 1959, he earned his real estate sales license, and became a broker three years later. He made many friendships which he cherished throughout his life. The company he founded, RVA Service Corporation, has a proven record of professional service in residential sales and property management. Russell became the first CPM (Certified Property Manager) in Northern Utah. He also earned the CRB (Certified Real Estate Broker) and CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designations from the National Association of Realtors. He was recognized in the industry as a leader, an educator and a mediator.
As a Realtor, Russell served on many professional committees, including Ethics, Budget, Rules and Regulations, MLS, and president of the local Board of Realtors, as secretary/treasurer for the Utah Association of Realtors. He was recognized by his peers as the Utah Realtor of the Year in 1986. He was recently honored with the first Russell V. Anderson award, which will be given annually for outstanding service, through education and leadership, to the Cache-Rich Association of Realtors.
Russell was known for his desire to serve the community. His service to the Logan Downtown Business Association, Cache Chamber of Commerce, and Capitol Arts Alliance, focused on bylaws, budgeting, and audit procedures which strengthened each organization. His aggressive approach to planning ahead was evident throughout all of his service.
His service on the Logan City Council was enhanced by his many years of service in civic and church organizations. Those activities were built on a solid foundation of knowledge and experience which made him a strong force on the Council in the development of proper budgeting and adequate reserves for the City of Logan. He eagerly participated in committee assignments as he sought to expand his knowledge, and thus his ability to serve the people of Logan.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in many capacities, including bishopric, high council, audit committee, home teacher, and was a Young Men's Priesthood leader for almost 40 years.
His approach to life was built on sound principles which did not waiver. He developed many sayings for which he will long be remembered. He was also well known for his preference for eating dessert first.
Russell is survived by his wife, Ruthann, of Logan; six children: Sharen (Larry) Welsh of Logan, Steven R. Anderson of Logan, Carol (Bob) Bair of Mesa, Arizona; Darren (Lisa) Anderson of Logan; Kimberly (Brent) Welsh of Logan; and Kendra Anderson of Salt Lake City, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers and two sisters: Ivaloo Sorensen of College Ward, Farrell (Pauline) Anderson of Providence, Alice Dicks of Logan, and Arlyn (Judy) Anderson of Sandy. Russell was preceded in death by his parents, his wife,
Josie, and two young children, Donnette (1953) and Michael (1996).
Funeral Services will be held Friday, April 7th at 12 noon in the Logan 24th Ward, 1260 North 1600 East, Logan, under the direction of Bishop Don R. Holdaway Friends may call at the Allen-Hall Mortuary in Logan on Thursday evening from 6-8 p.m., and at the church on Friday from 10 a.m.-11:45 a.m. Burial will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, friends may wish to make contributions to Bridgerland Literacy Endowment Fund, 255 North Main, in the name of his young son, Michael V. Anderson.
