By NewsPress Now

Carol Randolph, 84, St. Joseph, passed away on Sunday, June 30, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Carol was born on Aug. 22, 1939, in St. Joseph. She was a 1957 graduate of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, where she was involved in the Theta Alpha Phi Sorority.

Carol worked at the Buchanan County Courthouse Probate Court, where she was introduced by her future father-in-law, Attorney Lewis Randolph, Sr. to his son, Robert “Bob” Randolph. They were married on Dec. 31, 1960, and celebrated 45 years of marriage, until his passing in 2006.

Carol was a devoted wife, a loving mother to her three sons and a proud “Mema” to her two grandchildren. Her greatest joy was her family and loved attending her grandchildren’s milestone achievements and activities. Carol and her family created many lasting memories on their family farm together. In addition to trips to the farm, she also enjoyed traveling abroad. Carol loved social outings with friends and family and their fellowship at the Eagles Lodge, especially the music of the Friends and Family Band.

Carol is survived by her three sons, Kendall Randolph (Andrea), Kevin Randolph and Kenton Randolph (Maleea); and two grandchildren, Briana and Bryson Randolph.

In addition to her husband, Carol was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Nagle, and grandparents, John and Nellie (Groh) Salanski.

Celebration of Life for Carol will be held at a later date. A register book will be available to sign at Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel.

In lieu of flower, memorial donations may be made to the Noyes Home for Children. As published in the St. Joseph News-Press.
