Isobel Elaine Randolph, age 94, of Tecumseh, passed away July 30, 2020.

Isobel was born on October 25, 1925 in Johnstown, Penn., the daughter of Merton and Jennie (Sensabaugh) Gillin. On July 26, 1946 she married Lester Randolph in Tecumseh and he preceded her in death on July 15, 1994. Isobel retired from the Dominican Life Center working there for many years.

She enjoyed the simple things in life, spending many hours doing puzzles, playing Scrabble and loved going for rides in the car. She especially loved traveling and would go on trips whenever she had the opportunity, whether it was visiting a nearby relative or friend or taking longer trips to Pennsylvania, California or Florida. Visits from her grandchildren (especially when they brought ice cream), nieces, nephews and friends were special to her. She always looked forward to her family reunions.

Isobel was a long time member of the Tecumseh Friends Church and more recently attended Maple Avenue Bible Church.

Surviving Isobel are her children, Gloria (Denny) Powell and Ron (Carol) Randolph; four grandchildren, Tricia (Jeff) Schleicher,  Ryan (Linda) Powell, Amy (Jeff) Plauger and Eric Powell; eight great-grandchildren and several step great-grandchildren.

Gilbert Purse Funeral Home, in Tecumseh with Pastor Gene Reitz officiating. Burial followed in Brookside Cemetery, Tecumseh. Visitation was held on Wednesday preceding the service. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Lenawee or Maple Avenue Bible Church. Condolences to the family may be made online at pursefuneralhome.com.
