FNC NEWS - Russell C. Blessing, 74, of Harrisburg, entered into eternal rest Wednesday, October 28, 2009, at his home after a courageous battle with cancer with his family by his side.

Russell is survived by his wife of nearly 54 years, Patricia L. Fishel Blessing, whom he married on November 5, 1955; one daughter, Julie E. Brady wife of Rande of West Hanover Township; two sons, Andrew C. Blessing husband of Tina of Mt. Wolf and Fred O. Blessing husband of Cristina of York Springs; four grandchildren, Jason Brady of Bel Air, MD, Jordan Brady and Erin Brady both of West Hanover Township, and Sara Blessing of York Springs; one brother, James T.
