In Memoriam: Anna Russell 1931-2020

Anna Russell made history as the longest-tenured City of Houston employee to date — nearly seven decades — from the time she took a job as a clerk at age 18 in 1950 until she died at age 88 on Feb. 3. She served as city secretary since 1972 through the administrations of 13 mayors. And at a Feb. 11 memorial service at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, she remained larger than life. Here, her image seems to look over Mayor Sylvester Turner’s shoulder as he eulogizes her.

Remembering Anna Russell, Houston’s longest-serving employee, and how she ruled the roost.
