Edward E. Russell, 91, of Philadelphia, retired judge in Philadelphia's Family Court and Court of Common Pleas, longtime parliamentarian, attorney, and former adjunct professor at Temple University, died Saturday, Sept. 16, of a stroke at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden. Judge Russell ascended to the bench in 1988 and heard thousands of cases in Philadelphia Family Court and the Court of Common Pleas until his retirement in 2010. He ruled often on dependency issues in Family Court that involved abused and neglected children, and he told his family that he was most proud that his often gut-wrenching decisions were never reversed upon final appeal.
