Russell J. Demchuk

Russell J. Demchuk, 67, of Pine Plains, passed away on January 12, 2022 at Northern Dutchess Hospital. He was born on March 12, 1954 in Suffern, New York to the late Michael and Marion (Stengle) Demchuk. His family moved to Ancramdale and Russell attended Taconic Hills Central School. He served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam years. On October 5, 1976 he married Deborah Lamont, and they shared 45 years of marriage.

Russell was a truck driver, who began his career driving for George Hildebrant Trucking. He then went to work for Hess, Carrier, and most recently M&O, before retiring. One of the best story tellers, if he got your ear, he’d have you for hours talking about “back in the day”. He was very mechanically inclined and was always fixing something. From cars to anything around the house, there wasn’t much he couldn’t fix. He had a helping nature and would help anyone in need. He will be missed.

Russell is survived by his wife, Deborah Demchuk, his two daughters, Tristen Demchuk and Taryn Haid. His granddaughter Aislynn Demchuk, his grand fur-babies, and his sister, Helene Demchuk. In addition to many nieces, nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Frank Demchuk, and mother Marion and father Michael.

Services will be held at the convenience of the family.
