Surrounded by her children’s love, at Trillium Villa Nursing Home, on Monday, August 8, 2022, Lola Randall passed away at the age of 89. Beloved wife of Bill Randall, who predeceased her in March, for 68 years. Proud and loving mother of Wendy, Brad (Loretta), Steve (Jennifer) and Mark (Josephine). Cherished grandmother of Adam (Lorali), Sarah (Dhruv), Matt (Larissa), Katie (Curtis), Cody, Lainie, Jessie (Callie) and Paul. Beloved great-grandmother of Isabelle, Lucas, Jai and Bobby. Treasured sister of Vicki Milliken. Aunt of Judy Varty (Dave). Predeceased by her sisters-in-law Marj and Bette.
Lola was a strong woman who would spend an entire day working then come home to tutor her children at the kitchen table while making dinner. She had a long illustrious career at the Royal Bank in Corunna where she made many friends and acquaintances. Lola enjoyed life to the fullest- boating with her family, an afternoon at the casino, a well made margarita and travel.
She spent forty years as Nanny/Granny/Grandma to a large crew of grandkids and great-grandkids and loved shopping, playing gin rummy, scrabble and crokinole with them. Lola enjoyed attending all of her grandkids’ stage plays, dance recitals and sporting events and was always there in the end to give a word of praise.
She made a renowned apple pie that was the highlight of many special occasions, a skill that she lovingly passed on. Lola will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but her spirit lives on in the sweet aroma of an apple pie baking and memories of her quick dry wit which was often expressed through her many sayings.
Lola and Bill would like to thank the many staff at Trillium Villa who showed them kindness and care through the end of their lives.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at the Corunna Legion, 350 Albert St, Corunna, on August 21, 2022, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to the Canadian Cancer Society (cheques only when donating at the funeral home please).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lola Min Randall nee Seward July 29th 1933 August 8th 2022..
