Debra S. Randall, 60, Peru, took the Lord’s hand and went home on Feb. 20, 2017. She was born Oct. 26, 1956, in Ionia, Mich., to Robert Edwin and Sherilyn Gayle Rusmisel Randall. Heaven gained a beautiful angel when she passed away. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and friend. While she may have given birth to only one child, she was a mother to many. She loved kids dearly, didn’t know a stranger and adopted any stray animal she saw. She loved to crochet, watch old movies, and spend time with her son, Robert. She graduated from Warsaw Community High School in 1975 and went on to work for RR Donnelly and Sons, Warsaw, for many years before a disability forced her retirement. She is survived by her son, Robert Tackett, Peru; one grandchild; two brothers, David (wife Sharon) Randall and Robert Randall, all of Silver Lake; and two sisters, Wensday Crist, Silver Lake, and Gayle McCullough, North Manchester. Also surviving are a stepbrother, Robert (wife Sue) Bershing, Michigan; and two stepsisters, Sharon (husband Dick) Harris, National City, Mich., and Janice Bershing, Powell, Ohio. She was preceded by her parents and stepfather, Robert Bershing. She requested there be no funeral or viewing. A family memorial will be held at a later date. Arrangements were entrusted to Heritage Funeral and Cremation Services, Warsaw. ***** Memorials to the American Lung Association or the American Diabetes Association.
