Amanda “Jane” Russell Flynn

Amanda “Jane” Russell Flynn, 71, of Little River passed away peacefully in her home early Monday, July 29, 2019. Jane, the daughter of Howard and Lorene Russell, was raised in Newport News, Va.  before relocating to New Jersey where she raised her own family in the Middletown area. For the past 18 years Jane has called Little River her home.

Jane is survived by her husband of 49 years, Marty; son, Sean and his wife, Jennifer; granddaughters, Laine and Loren of Charlotte, N.C.; daughter, Amanda Flynn and Alex Johnson of Little River; sister, Sandra and her husband, Donald Quisenberry of Virginia Beach, Va.; brother, Lex Russell of Newport News; sisters-in-law, Josie O’Malley of New Jersey and Peggy Lennon of Rhode Island; 11 nieces and nephews; and last but certainly not least, her beloved dog, Abby.

In addition to a loving family, Jane leaves behind countless friends she has made over her 71 years. Known for a wonderful sense of humor, fierce loyalty and a deep love of all things Tarheel, she leaves us all with countless smiles and fond memories for those lucky enough to have called her a wife, mother, sister or friend.

A visitation for the family and friends will be held at Lee Funeral Home in Little River on Thursday, Aug. 1, from 7 to 9 p.m.

A memorial mass will be held on Friday, Aug. 2, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in North Myrtle Beach.

Jane valiantly fought cancer for seven years, never allowing it to conquer her spirit or will to live life to its absolute fullest.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Jane’s memory to a cancer-related charity that speaks to your heart.
