In Memoriam


Russell Frame

Russell Byron Frame passed away peacefully in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Humboldt, Saskatchewan on January 8, 2009. Russell was born in Lacombe, Alberta. He spent his early childhood in Lacombe and Vegreville, then moved to Edmonton with his family, where he was raised by his parents until his mother's death in 1957. Russell was then raised by his grandparents, Carolyn and Russell Smith for the remainder of his childhood. Russell was well traveled and worked in many places before returning to Edmonton where he lived for the past 18 years. He had recently moved to Watson, Saskatchewan. Russell was predeceased by his parents, Lillian and Richard Frame of Edmonton and by his sister Carole Cromwell. He is survived by his loving wife, Pauline Ulliac, by his brothers Frederick Frame and Scott Duggan, his sister Sharron Daley Smith, his uncle Ronald Smith, his aunts Olive Smith, Lorraine Duggan and Dorothy Simms, and by his nephews Luke Frame and Scott and Bill Duggan. Russell was very much loved. He was full of grace and humour and kindness. He will be dearly missed by his family and his many friends.

My name is also Russell Frame. I did a google search of my name and This Russell came up. I was wondering if we were related. My parents were divorced in 1965. Fathers name was Sydney. I believe my family migrated to Philadelphia in The late 1920's to early 1930's. It seems we have some similarities also, I spent 4 years in the US Navy and traveled the world. I also was born in April, and I love a good beer. I was born in 1962.
