Russell Allen Cantrell

Russell Allen Cantrell, 86, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Twin Falls, Idaho, where he had resided for forty-six years. Russell was born on April 21, 1938, in Wendell, Idaho, to Homer and Iva Cantrell. He attended school in Wendell, graduating from Wendell High School. On December 7, 1959, Russell married Bernice Griese. Their union brought forth one son, Randy.

Throughout his lifetime, Russell worked in many interesting professions, including sales, pool table recovery, and servicing vending machines, jukeboxes, and arcade games. Ensuring the proper functioning of arcade games after each job was a necessity, therefore one might say "he sure plays a mean pinball." His hobbies included gardening, fishing, and reading.

Russell is survived by his son, Randy Cantrell, of Elko, Nevada, three grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife and eldest grandchild. To all who knew him, he will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held at 1 P.M. on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at Demaray Funeral Service, Wendell Chapel, 164 East Main St., Wendell, Idaho 83355.

Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service - Wendell Chapel
