Rosemary Russell, age 82, of Lugoff, SC, was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend who was kind, caring, honest, and always put others before herself.  She passed peacefully on December 5, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones.  Born in Camden, she was the daughter of the late Ernest Beckham Russell and Nina Miles Russell.  Rosemary was a retired educator who taught and was a school administrator who worked tirelessly to improve children's educational experience and their hopes for having a prosperous future.  She was a lifelong member and Sunday school teacher of Camden First Baptist Church and nothing was more important to her than God, family, and friends. 

Rosemary is survived by her daughters, Kristin Elizabeth Stokes, of Camden, Mary Elizabeth Shuler (Glen), of Inman, SC; sons, David Mitchell Ayer, of Lugoff, and Harry “Bubba” Shuler III (Tammy), of Lugoff; and grandchildren, Joshua David Ayer, Justin Beckham Ayer, Russell Hunter Stokes, Garland Farrall Stokes (Amanda), Mary Baxley Shuler, Jaylin Paxton Arruda, and Ellen Elizabeth Shuler.
