It is with great sadness that the family of Evangeline “Vange” Mary Russell of Miramichi, NB, wish to announce her death that occurred at her residence on Friday, March 13, 2015. Vange was the 2nd child of Edward and Marion Hanley.

She belonged to the Newcastle Curling Club and the Miramichi Golf and Country Club. She excelled at golf and won the Ladies Club Championship in 1949, 1950 and 1951.
Vange will be sadly missed by her three daughters: Brenda Russell and Nancy Jill Smith (David) all of Newcastle, NB and Carol Michaud (Gilles) of Douglasfield, NB; one step-son: John Russell of Douglastown, NB; grandchildren: Matthew Russell (Angela) of Columbus, Ohio, Alexis Smith (Scott Carson) of Fredericton, NB, Laura Smith (Dave Roy) of Ottawa.

Great grandchildren: Ainsley and Anson Russell, William and Luke Carson and Tristan & Neve Roy and several nieces and one nephew. Vange had a special place in her heart for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and never tired of hearing their news. She was very proud of them.
