"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." II Corinthians 5:1
Stephanie Renae Randle was born to Ruth Hudson Raines and Willie Gene Randle in Kalamazoo, Michigan, July 3, 1966. She received her formative education in the Kalamazoo school system and studied for two years at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Stephanie was a trained phlebotomist and was employed by Advanced Plasma. She used her skills in this area of healthcare until her health declined.
Stephanie was taught the ways of the Lord by her mother and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age. Stephanie sincerely loved and trusted the Lord.
Talented, artistic, and independent, Stephanie was a DIY-a "Do It Yourself" type person! She loved crafts and decorating was one of her favorite things to do. Athletic, she loved to swim. Her personality was one of love, kindness, and caring. She was an excellent mother to Rylan, her son. She once said the greatest gift she ever received from God was the day that Rylan was born. Rylan was her heartbeat!
She loved family and enjoyed spending time with extended family. Her great big smile spoke volumes of her strength and tenacity, even if she was experiencing discomfort or pain. On Sunday, August 31, 2025, Stephanie Renae Randle was called from labor to her eternal reward. She leaves to cherish precious memories: her son, Rylan Hudson Randle of Kalamazoo, MI; mother, Ruth Raines, Dallas, GA; father, Willie Gene Randle, Kalamazoo, MI; Tiffany Randle of Atlanta, GA; Jason (Anjuli) Raines, Atlanta, GA; Jaron (Arhea) Raines, Columbus, Ohio; Sheia Raines, Dallas, GA; Eric Brayboy, Texas; Susan Wilbon, Kalamazoo, MI; Aaron Randle, Kalamazoo; Admon Randle, Kalamazoo, MI; Freda (Rudy) Myles, Kalamazoo, MI; Darnell Cargile, Detroit, MI; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
