Russell Martin

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Russell Martin, a beloved father, friend, and passionate sports fan, who left us on August 30, 2025. He was 89 years old. Russell was a man of simple joys, finding peace in the great outdoors and in the company of his family and friends. He was an avid fan of the Steelers and Pirates, a love that he passed down to those who knew him well. Russell’s love for nature was equally profound. An avid fisherman and hunter, he spent countless hours in the quiet of the woods or by the water. He had been a member of the Moose since 1955 and loved spending time in the afternoons having a cold one with his buddies and will be dearly missed. Russell is survived by his daughters, Renee (Tony) Harris, FL, Lori (Dennis) Catlin, WI, Sandy (Ted) Worthington, Nanty Glo, 7 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. He was preceded in death by wife Johanna (Yoses) Martin, son Russell “Junior” Martin, parents Rusty and Emaline (Monborne) Martin. Rest in peace, Russell. You will always be remembered and missed but never forgotten. Memorial gathering will be at the Bowser Ondriezek Funeral on Monday from 2 until the time of the Memorial Service at 4. Deacon James Janosik, officiating. Interment in Holy Name Cemetery, Ebensburg.
