RANDI SHAUL

Randi passed away peacefully at home, deeply loved by those close to her, on November 6, 2025. Beloved wife of David Saevitzon. Loving mother and mother-in-law of Michael Saevitzon and Amelia Hockin, and Jill Saevitzon and Vince Lonergan. Dear sister of Jeffrey Shaul, and Brenda Shaul. Devoted Grammy of Abigail, Ella, and Lily. Randi was born and raised in Toronto and completed her medical training at the University of Toronto. She had a successful Family Practice before working at Princess Margaret Hospital as a Clinical Associate in the Gynecologic Oncology Department. Randi had a gift for making others feel at ease. This was her secret power. A quiet presence. A rare ability to start and hold a conversation with genuine interest. A listening ear. A warm smile. It mattered not that you were a billionaire or a pauper, a professor or a dropout, she treated everyone with dignity, respect and friendship. Hers was a life free of pretense and guile - a spirit completely free of malice - a heart full of kindness, an engaging and uplifting personality. It takes strength to be kind in the face of life's many challenges. Randi carried that strength and dealt with her illness with quiet bravery and dignity. She never bragged about the far-flung places her adventurous spirit and wanderlust took her... or her amazing adventures. In fact, she rarely spoke of them. While happy travelling in style, she was equally willing to rough it where necessary, sleeping in tents, so-so hotels and taking rides in decrepit trains and trucks. All to say she was flexible and adaptable. She loved hiking and cycling - particularly hiking - and she did some very ambitious treks over the years. She will be sorely missed by her many friends and family.
