Born on August 21, 1953, in Sanford, Maine, Russell was the son of George and Doris (Lolly) Snell. He attended local schools and remained a lifelong resident of Sanford, living in the same family home throughout his life.

Russell was employed by several local businesses over the years, including Wasco, U.S. Felt, the Nike factory, and Shop ‘n Save. Most recently, he worked as a bus driver for the WAVE through YCCAC, a position he truly enjoyed. Russell enjoyed serving his community and making friends along the way.
