Andrew Randazzo Obituary

Andrew Randazzo

July 21, 1956 - March 29, 2025

Andrew Anthony Randazzo, 68, passed away unexpectedly on March 29, 2025, in Maidens, VA. Born on July 21, 1956, in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late Giovanni and Matilde Randazzo. He grew up alongside his brother, Mathew Randazzo, and his beloved cousins, cherishing lifelong bonds of family and friendship.

Andrew graduated from Fordham University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science degree. In 2002, he married Ann Widgins, and together, over 22 years, they raised a loving blended family. He was a devoted father to his son, Andrew, and daughter, Christine Carroll (Patrick), as well as a caring stepfather to Ann's daughters, Jennifer Oliver (Maya), Austin Miltner (Tim), and Madison Tillman (Zay). His greatest joy in recent years was being a grandfather to Kaiden (three), Cassius (two), Mason (Mac) (one), and Mazie (seven weeks).

Andrew's career spanned 35 years at Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, where he served as Regional Vice President of Provider Solutions. He was deeply respected for his leadership, professionalism, and the genuine relationships he built with healthcare providers throughout Virginia. His colleagues and friends at Anthem will remember him for his dedication, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to fostering collaboration within the healthcare community.

Outside of work, Andrew had a passion for adventure and exploration, traveling often with his wife, Ann. He found joy in playing pickleball, staying active, and spending quality time with family and friends. His beloved German Shepherd, Abby, was always by his side, bringing him endless joy. Above all, Andrew's main focus in life was his love and devotion to those closest to him. He made it a priority to stay close to his family and friends, always valuing the importance of relationships.

Andrew's legacy of kindness, warmth, and dedication will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his memory will forever be cherished.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Woody Funeral Home located at 1771 N. Parham Road, Richmond, VA 23229 on Tuesday, April 8th. Visitation will be held from 12:30 to 3 p.m. and a service will commence at 3 p.m. A separate service on Friday, April 11th will be held at Good Shepherd Church located at 1950 Batchelder Street, Brooklyn, New York 11229 at 10 a.m. with a graveside service following at Green-Wood Cemetery located at 500 25th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232.

Andy was a best friend just short of 50 years. His compassion, and dedication to help others was unparalleled. I will miss him dearly as he was one of those once in a lifetime friends my wise old father told me about in my younger days. Rest in peace my dear friend and may God continue to look after those you left behind.
