Rev. Anne Russ is a native of Arkansas. She has lived in Atlanta, Boston, Duesseldorf and London, but always seems to find her way back home.
Anne is a graduate of Andover Newton Theological School in Boston. She is frequently a keynote speaker or music and worship leader for various local and regional conferences. She is on the board of Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center and spends a week as a chaplain at camp every summer.
Anne writes a weekly column on religion that appears in the North Little Rock Times, The Sherwood Voice, The Jacksonville Patriot and the Maumelle Monitor.
She and her mother, Nancy, are authors of two books, Was the Funeral Fun? and What’s More Fun than a Funeral?
The Anne Russ Award is given annually to the graduate of the Donaghey Scholars Program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock who “most reminds us that this is supposed to be fun.”
Fun is a major theme for Anne, who believes in the opening words of the Westminster Shorter Catechism; that our goal in life is to glorify God and enjoy God forever.
Anne is married and has a 10-year-old daughter.
