Phyllis Hebert Russo
Phyllis Hebert Russo, 61, passed away on Monday, April 17th in Houston, Texas. She was born on November 16th, 1961, in Lafayette, Louisiana, to Calvin and Shirley Hebert. Phyllis is survived by her: husband, Louis Anthony Russo, Jr.; sons, Christopher Wade Russo and wife Theresa Russo and Michael Paul Russo and wife Kendall Russo; sisters, Michelle Hebert and Lynette Cumings and husband, Clint Cumings; grandchild, Eric Benjamin Russo, and numerous family members and friends. She earned a nursing degree from the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Phyllis worked as a nurse in Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Houston Medical Center for eight years until becoming a full-time mother. She sacrificially cared for others and loved arranging flowers for members of her family and her church. We grieve the emptiness left behind by Phyllis’ passing but are comforted with the knowledge that Phyllis is victorious and rests in the bosom of our Father, along with her mother and father whom she loved and missed so much. While Phyllis’ life was too short, the way in which she lived the life God granted her will be her everlasting legacy.

May you rest in peace
My condolences to your family
Our prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends
Our friendship of 39 years was truly one of the greatest gifts from God.
She was a loving, spiritual, fun and compassionate person. I admired her strength, courage and bravery over the past year battling pancreatic cancer. I know now that I’m a better person because of her. I will always cherish our friendship and will love and miss her deeply. I am comforted to know that she is at peace and now with the Lord.
God bless and rest in peace my dear friend Phyllis❤️❤️🙏🏻
She is a sister of my heart and soul that God brought us together at St Bernadette’s Catholic Church, on a latter of 2000. She was/is an angel in my life which we shared laughter, tears and prayer.
I know she is in the arms of Christ smiling down on all her loved her.
Jesus assures us in Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted. “
God himself will comfort us in our grief. Psalm 34:18 encourages us,”The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit “
She will be missed but her and our love will still be with us all.
God Bless us and give his love and comfort.
Our Thoughts and Prayers are with The Russo Family. Family and Friends are Forever and Phyllis will be with us Forever.

I am so saddened by Phyllis’s passing. Her deep faith was an example and inspiration to me- in that regard, if feel I owe her so much. Her smile and laugh were infectious. I will treasure my memories of creating flower arrangements with her at St. Bernadette’s. I feel blessed to have known her.
Matt and I send our deepest condolences to Louis, Chris, Michael, and the whole family. We grieve with you. May you feel the loving arms of Jesus surrounding you as you grieve, and may your joyful memories lift you in the months ahead. God’s peace to you.
