Native Houstonian
Loretta Jean (Wolf)
Russell peacefully passed
away on Sunday, July 28
at home surrounded by
loved ones.
Born May 2, 1931,
Loretta was preceded
in death by her parents
Hugh Leonard and Viola
(Kerr) Wolf, and her
only sibling Hubert L.
Wolf. She attended David
G. Burnet Elementary,
Edison Junior High and
graduated in 1949 from
Stephen F. Austin High
School. She went on to
graduate from Southwest
Business School.
On November 20,1952,
she married the love of
her life, Allen E. (Gene)
Russell and they shared
almost 67 years together.
She was at her husband’s
side at home and at
work, including the years
he held baseball front
office positions with the
Austin Senators, Alpine
Cowboys, Jacksonville
Jets and the Colt 45s.
Along the way Loretta
played a major role in
her husband’s successful
career first in baseball
and later in commercial
real estate brokerage and
investments.
Loretta held positions
in the oil & gas business
prior to Gene serving in
the U.S. Anny and after
Loretta believed in the
power of prayer. She
entered Heaven with an
open heart full of grace
and love, believing in
life ever after and will be
waiting for her husband so
they can continue “On Our
Journey.” Her hallmark
was knowledge of the
bible, gospel songs and,
especially the beautiful
prayers she offered for
any circumstance.
A longtime friend
described Loretta as “The
perfect example of a
Godly woman. She led her
life reflecting the warmth
and kindness of Jesus.
Her smile never faded,
her grace never wavered
and her caring spirit lives
on in the many lives she
touched even during her
health struggles — a truly
precious friend to so
many — a genuine lover
of people.”
She and Gene made a
generous donation for a
public park in Baytown,
where they enjoyed
some of their real estate
successes. Loretta was so
proud when the Baytown
Parks and Recreation
Department and City
Council named the
facility near North Main
and Wallisville Road the
Gene and Loretta Russell
Park. In lieu of flowers
contributions may be
made to the Gene and

This led to

opportunities
the Mercury
Apollo programs
developing. One of the
highlights was joining
in the festivities at
Cape Canaveral for the
launching of the Apollo
11 moon landing. While
Gene was with the Colt
45 s, Loretta co-hosted
an event in a special
hospitality box for five
of the original Mercury
astronauts and their wives
(Alan/Louise Shepherd,
John/Annie Glenn Jr.,
Gus/Betty Grissom, Scott/
Rene Carpenter and Deke/
Marge Slayton) during a
Colt 45s-Dodgers game. It
was one of the first public
events that these Mercury
astronauts attended. The
fans at the game were
only made aware of their
presence when announced
by Colt 45s owner Judge
Roy Hofheinz in the 7 th
inning
Loretta lived a full
and happy life in homes
adjoining the Cypress
Champions Golf Course
for more than 50 years.
She enjoyed world travel
with Gene over the years.
She was an avid sports
fan, following football,
basketball and baseball at
the University of Houston,
Astros and Rockets
teams. When her eyesight
began to decline Loretta
continued to ardently
follow her favorite teams
on big screen televisions
at her home.
A devout Christian,
known for her kindness,
his discharge joined him
in front office work in
professional baseball.
She resumed her career
in the oil & gas business
in the early 60’s and later
was hired by William
L. Hill of the Singer
Corporation, one of the
early contractors for the
NASA Mercury program,
as his personal assistant
and as a security officer.
