Uncle Mark's Funeral


Mark Jeppson Russell
August 13, 1950 - March 27, 2019

Great Story Teller, Loved Kids, always laughing, Fun to be around
The kids described Uncle Mark as:

"Old guy who doesn't feel old"
"Not too old to have fun"

It was sad to see Mark go. He was a significant part of our lives. The kids were always in various states of laughter when he was around, and almost every time that we were in Dietrich we would see Uncle Mark. The service was a nice tribute to his life, and a good opportunity to see extended family members that Clay hadn’t seen in years. The congregation then drove to Twin Falls for the burial which was nice, and the family went on a grave hunt to find Grandpa John and Grandma Betty. Then on to the traditional post-funeral gathering at…..The Mandarin House. It was great to catch up and enjoy one another’s company as well as reminisce about the good old days with camp trips to Corral Creek and Christmas Eve snow storms that were spent together.
