With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Sasha Monique Russ, age 50, of Winter Garden, Florida, who left this world far too soon on July 6, 2025. A loving mother, devoted friend, and cherished community member, Sasha’s unexpected departure has left a profound emptiness in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
Sasha was a woman of unwavering strength, generous spirit, and gentle compassion. She brought joy, laughter, and wisdom to every space she entered, leaving behind a legacy that is impossible to forget. Whether you knew her as a neighbor, coworker, sister, or lifelong friend, Sasha made you feel welcome, valued, and loved — a rare and beautiful gift that she gave freely.
A Life of Purpose and Grace
Born and raised in Florida, Sasha built a life rooted in faith, family, and community. She was a woman of integrity, fiercely protective of those she loved, and always ready with words of encouragement or a shoulder to lean on. She found strength in her spirituality and carried her faith into every corner of her life — from the way she parented to the way she gave back to others.
Those who knew Sasha will remember her not just for what she did, but for who she was — a woman who led with her heart, who uplifted others with her presence, and who never hesitated to help someone in need. Her smile lit up rooms. Her laughter was contagious. Her advice was often what people needed, even when they didn’t realize it at first.
She was passionate about her work, committed to the people she served, and always involved in the community. Whether volunteering, mentoring, or simply showing up for a friend, Sasha’s impact was widespread and deeply felt.
