Russell Warren Algoe
(June 16, 1956 - March 14, 2019)
RUSSELL WARREN ALGOE, 62, of Milton,
WV, died Thursday, March 14, 2019. Funeral services will be conducted at 11
a.m. Saturday, March 23, 2019, at the
Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville. Burial
will be in
Swann Cemetery. Russell was born on June 16, 1956,
in Huntington, WV, and grew up in Barboursville. He was the son of Billy
Russell Algoe and Shirley Louise Sites (passed Jan. 4, 2019). Shirley later
married James Bills. Russell had six half-brothers, five from Billy's 2nd
wife, Bertha Barnes - Ricky Dean (Kim Fry and Rebecca Albin) (one son with
Kim - Branden, and three sons with Rebecca - Jacob, Levi and Elijah), Rocky
Lynn (passed in 1992 unmarried), Randy Gene (Quanna Anglin), Roger Glenn
(lived 5 days) and Robin Lee - and with Billy's 3rd wife, Madel Chavez -
Billy Joe (Jenifer McWilliams - children, Kassy and Ethan). Russell has a
beautiful daughter named Olivia Marie Dean-Algoe, who has a son, Lucas.
Russell's paternal grandparents were Howard Taft Algeo and Mary Lee Wroten.
On that side of the family, Russell has several aunts and uncles, Jack,
Rosalie, Mary, Shirley Joe, Tex, Howard Taft Jr., Grace, Betty, Charles
"Davy" and Ruth (of which Mary and Grace have passed - there were also two
unnamed infants born to Howard and Mary) that were all born in
Barboursville, as were several generations before them. Through these aunts
and uncles, Russell has numerous cousins who still live in the area and
elsewhere. On Russell's maternal side, he had one aunt, Francis "Joann"
Ridenour (passed), and a cousin, Debbie Fulford. Russell worked in several
trades over the years, including as a sales rep for eyeglasses, but enjoyed
the more casual attire of landscaping the most and even started a nursery
called Olivia's Garden. Olivia says, we would always be outdoors, doing
anything - hiking, playing sports, swimming ... just anything outdoors he
loved. And he made friends with nearly everyone he met. Visitation will be
from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday at the
Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville.
