Livestreaming available at https://stjohnvideo.com/funeral-service Thomas Glenn Russell, 75, of Owatonna, died Sunday, May 29, 2022 at his home surrounded by family. Tom was born in Owatonna on August 20, 1946 to Glenn and Jennie Russell. Tom graduated from Owatonna High School in 1964 lettering in basketball. Upon graduation, Tom worked at Owatonna Security Bank as an errand runner until he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1965 serving as a Military Police Officer. While stationed in Okinawa, Tom met his first wife, Hiroko Gabe, whom he married in 1968. Upon his honorable discharge in 1968, Tom retuned to Owatonna with Hiroko and he also returned to his job at Owatonna Security Bank. Tom and Hiroko raised their three children, Mike, Brian, and Jon Russell in Owatonna. Tom lost Hiroko to cancer in December 2000. Tom found love again when he met Bonnie Evans whom he married in 2003. Tom held several positions during his time as a bank employee including errand runner, teller, loan officer, and Vice President and maintained his employment through several ownership changes eventually retiring as a Wells Fargo employee in 2005. Tom was a highly respected and award winning bank employee. Tom was a proud Owatonna resident and volunteered his time to the community through the United Way, Red Cross, American Legion, VFW, St. John's Cemetery, Brooktree golf course, and Owatonna Parks and Recreation coaching his sons. He also led an active lifestyle participating in recreational sports: volleyball, basketball, softball, and golf. He was also an avid Minnesota Vikings fan, despite being routinely heartbroken, and Minnesota Twins fan. Upon his retirement, Tom continued to volunteer and work on his golf game. He also enjoyed the warm Florida weather where he stayed during the winter months. Despite extra time to work on his golf game during the winters in Florida, his inevitable slice on every drive continued to frustrate him. Although Tom enjoyed his career, community service, and sports, he was, first and foremost, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
