Russ lived and worked in Peoria, Illinois area and retired after 15 years of service with Caterpillar Tractor Company. Following retirement, he worked as a minister of the gospel as an evangelist and a pastor; as well as a singer, song writer and musician.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Helen Francis Lloyd-Stevenson.
Russ is survived by his wife of 40 years, Glenda (Garrett) Marshall; children, Russell W. Marshall and his wife, Treva and Marietta L. Bradford; grandchildren, Brandon and Devin, Ella Grace and John Russell Bradford; siblings, Samuel Frank Marshall, Mark Clyde Marshall, Daniel Gilbert Marshall and Mary Lucintha Weeks; as well as extended family and friends.
