Russell Orin Bentley, age 67, of Woodbury, passed away due to a stroke on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Born January 1, 1955 to Wallace R and Lillian (Yechout) Bentley. Russell served proudly in the US Army. After his retirement from active service, Russ continued to serve other veterans in his position as an ATS Technician at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center in Minneapolis. Russell was extremely active in the Woodbury VFW and American Legion posts where he served as a distinguished Honor Guard for fellow veterans. Russell met his loving wife, Carolyn, while working together at the Sears warehouse on Lake Street in Minneapolis. Their love story lasted for 37 years. Russell loved to fish, golf, play cribbage, and keep his vehicles and flowers meticulously attended. Russell was adored by virtually everyone that had the pleasure of calling him uncle or friend. His laugh and gentle nature will never die in their hearts. Russell is survived by his wife of 36 years, Carolyn; brothers David (Mary) and Neil (Barbara); sisters Sandy (William) and Julie (David); stepbrother Richard Osborne, and several nieces and nephews.
