He served in the army during the 1950’s. He worked at the Del Monte can plant in Toppenish, retiring as a foreman in 1985. Russell married Joyce Smoot on 6/15/1949 in a double wedding with Bob Moser and Lola Gervasi at the Toppenish United Methodist church. They were married for over 71 years. Many a fish, deer and elk are resting more peacefully knowing Russell is not stalking them any more. Russell is preceded in death by his parents Fred and Emma Meyers and a sister, Olive Bone. Russell is survived by wife Joyce and children Jeff Meyers (Yakima) and Juli Ashburn (Micheal) - Mount Vernon, nephews Gene Kuleza, Tom Smoot, Tim Bone and Mike Bone, nieces Connie Smith, Suzanne Lewis and Debbie Crouse and a “hount” Muffin.
