Corrine J. Russell
SCARBOROUGH – Corrine J. Russell, 89, passed away on June 13, 2025, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, surrounded by family. She died peacefully with love and grace—just as she lived.
Born on July 26, 1935, in Fort Fairfield, Corrine was a proud Irish Catholic known for her deep faith, warmth, and sharp wit. Affectionately called “Mrs. Redford,” a nod to her fondness for actor Robert Redford, she was a devoted sister, a beloved aunt, cherished friend, and lover of all animals.
Corrine was the daughter of the late Kenneth and Evelyn Russell. She was predeceased by her sister, Heidi Libby, and her brother, Blair Russell.
She is survived by her sister, Judith Doody, and brother-in-law George Doody, of Saco, and her brother, Michael Russell of South Portland. Corrine also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews, as well as grandnieces and grandnephews.
A private family gathering will be held in her honor.
In her memory, donations
may be made to the
Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland or
Hospice of Southern Maine.
