1945 - 2016
 Mary Emily Russell Detamore, 71, of Proctorville, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord on June 28, 2016. She passed away in St Mary’s Medical Center, after a long fought illness. Our angel on Earth is now in Heaven. The family would like to express a special thanks to her Nurse Summer Locasio; Doug Pendleton and Stephanie Malcolm with Pastoral Care in our time of need. She was born in Ashland, KY on March 29, 1945, the daughter of the late Harry and Margaret Russell. Mary graduated from Nitro High School and Marshall University. She was a beloved teacher with the Cabell County school system, where she retired, but most of all, she was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Mary loved spending time with her family and friends and watching the Canada geese from her river view home. She is survived by one sister, JoAnn Cox of Greensboro, NC; three children, Wendi Detamore of Chesapeake, Chris (Jennifer) Detamore of Proctorville, Terri (Thomas) Lockard of Proctorville; seven grandchildren, Caitlin, Ryan, Abigail, Alexandra, Matthew, Payton and Kenna; and two great-grandchildren, Isaiah and Isabella; several nieces and great nieces; special family friends Sheila Weber, Wesley Smith and Deidra Escue-Salmon; and her extended family at The Wyngate.

Visitation will be Thursday, June 30, 2016, from 6-8 p.m. at Hall Funeral Home and Crematory, Proctorville, Ohio.

Wendi, Chris, Terri, and JoAnn --
I am so sorry for your loss. I was heartbroken to hear last night of Mary's passing. Mary and I met in seventh grade and quickly became close friends. I spent many nights at her home with Mr. and Mrs. Russell and Nana. I remember going camping with them at Carter Caves and taking my driver's test in their station wagon. I was maid of honor at Mary and Richard's wedding.
I last spoke with Mary about two years ago. We shared many happy memories of our friendship including high school, college, and births of children.
Please know that Mary was a special person and will be remembered with love by so many of her friends. Take care.
Billie A. Hauser

I worked with Mary at West Middle School. We often ate lunch together in the teachers lounge. We also did hall duty together and I remember her munching a pop tart. We shared a love of reading and would exchange books we found interesting. She was a wonderful teacher. I was the school secretary and enjoyed our time together.
