Russell E. . Childers

Russell E. Childers passed away on April 23, 2019, following a sudden illness.  He was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 26, 1956, to Robert Childers and Marell Waters Childers.

Russell was a very kind, loving and compassionate man and will be greatly missed.

Russell met his wife Mandy in 1976 while they were both students at Lanier Tech.  They became inseparable from that point forward and married in 1984.  

Russell was predeceased by his parents and a brother, Randy Childers.
