Russell Lawrence Rauch Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Russell Lawrence Rauch, age 60, passed away on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, at Dublin Methodist Hospital. He was preceded in death by his mother, Miriam Alayne Rauch, and his father, Lawrence Edward Rauch, and survived by his sister, Ruth Maureen Rauch, with whom he lived in Dublin. His joie de vivre will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. A great many people deserve special thanks for helping Russell live a full and happy life, among them, Franklin County Department of Developmental Disabilities (FCDDD) service coordinator Carrie Barnhart, Home Health Connections coordinator Mark Merriman (now with FCDDD), longtime care organizer and family friend Sarah Rezvani, caregivers Joyce Dawotola and Brontilla Jarvis, occupational therapist Nancy Mangini, and all his wonderful friends at All R Friends in Dublin. The family deeply appreciates the dedicated medical professionals of Central Ohio Primary Care and OhioHealth HomeReach who made it possible for Russell to live in his own home for more than 59 ½ of his 60 years and to enjoy the benefits of good health for far longer than expected. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio, 510 East North Broadway, Columbus, Ohio 43214.
