She was born in Erlanger, North Carolina and was the oldest child of McLeard and Irene Randall.

As a minister's wife, she served with her husband teaching Sunday School, playing the organ and piano, directing the choir, and heading up lay groups. In her free time she assisted at the Soup Kitchen, played handbells and worked with senior citizens. In her 80's, she took mission trips to Africa and Germany where she helped build churches and worked as a volunteer in various programs.

Her great loves were caring and cooking for her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.
