Russell E. Gettemy, of Plympton, Mass., died peacefully but suddenly on July 31, 2025.

He is survived by his wife Susan (Lane) Gettemy, his sister Janet (Gettemy) Esancy, and beloved sons James, David and Jeffrey.  He is the father of the late Lauren Gettemy.

Russell was a man of faith; he loved the Lord and reading/studying scripture.  He was well liked by all, and he loved teasing everyone to make them smile.  He had a calm spirit and enjoyed people to the fullest.  He was steadfast and of a strong character, trustworthy and honest.

Russell was a hard-working man; had many trades throughout the years; printer (Halliday Lithograph), plastic injection molding (Pixley Richards), plumbing, and eventually ran his own heat and A/C business. No task was too daunting; he had awesome mechanical abilities and could fix almost anything.

There will be a celebration of life ceremony on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at the New England Baptist Church at 560 North Main Street, West Bridgewater, Ma. 02379 at 10 am.

Interment will be held in a private ceremony at a later date.
