PHYLLIS HEBERT RUSSO

Phyllis Hebert Russo, 61, passed away on Monday, April 17th in Houston, Texas. She was born on November 16th, 1961 in Lafayette, Louisiana, to Calvin and Shirley Hebert. Phyllis is survived by her husband, Louis Anthony Russo, Jr.; sons, Christopher Wade Russo and wife Theresa Russo and Michael Paul Russo and wife Kendall Russo; sisters, Michelle Hebert and Lynette Cumings; grandchildren, Eric Benjamin Russo, and numerous family members and friends. She earned a nursing degree from the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Phyllis worked as a nurse in Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Houston Medical Center for eight years until becoming a full-time mother.

She sacrificially cared for others and loved arranging flowers for members of her family and her church. We grieve the emptiness left behind by Phyllis’ passing but are comforted with the knowledge that Phyllis is victorious and rests in the bosom of our Father, along with her mother and father whom she loved and missed so much. While Phyllis’ life was too short, the way in which she lived the life God granted her will be her everlasting legacy.
