Victoria Russ

Russ, Victoria Ann "Tori", beloved daughter of Robert and Nancy Russ (nee Charlton), loving sister of Daniel (Hanna). Cherished by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Tori attended Immaculate Heart of Mary grade school, where she performed in numerous talent shows and musicals. She enjoyed gymnastics and soccer growing up, and was known for her high-speed breakaways, if not for accuracy. She attended Covington Latin High School for two years, where she became a Student Council representative and ran short distance events in track. She then transferred and graduated from McNicholas High School. There, she was part of a national championship dance team and drama club. She went on to Ohio State University for two years, and subsequently finished her degree in Psychology at the University of Cincinnati. She loved: her family, bright colors, glitter and sequins, flowers, dogs, squirrels, sunsets, sriracha (she always carried a bottle in her purse), driving manual cars (the faster the better), music, dancing (amazing others with her mastery of The Worm), Bengals games, hiking, reality TV, fiercely competing, board games, snow, skiing (water, snow, and jet), zip lining, travel (especially to warm, sunny beaches), sushi, hookah, jumping into leaf piles, and big fluffy hoodies. Tori had an unmatched zest for life and sense of adventure. Her engaging personality and infectious humor made others enjoy being with her. Her goofiness brought laughter to everyone she met. Everyone who came to know her also came to know what a caring, supportive person she was. She stood up for people who were bullied or left out. When friends or loved ones were down or in need of aid, Tori was always there with a hug, help, or whatever was needed. She always saw the good in others, and befriended anyone who needed a friend. She had a determined and enterprising spirit. Tori will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Donations in her honor can be made to the National Eating Disorder Association (https://www.nationaleatingdisorder). Mass of Christian Burial at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Anderson Twp. on Sat. Nov. 19, at 11 AM. Friends may visit at the Church on Sat. from 10-11 AM.
