RANDI DUBIN Obituary

DUBIN--Randi.

Randi Thulin Dubin, who was admired by family and friends for her vivacious spirit, compassionate nature and resilience, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in East Hampton, NY at the age of 61. She was born on June 14, 1954, on Staten Island, NY. She received a BA in psychology from the City University of New York and a MA in counseling at Columbia University. She lived in Manhattan with her husband, Michael Dubin, whom she married in 1982. She and her husband raised three daughters, Krista, Erika and Karoline, who each regard her as their best friend. Randi was selflessly devoted to her daughters and had the ability to make others feel part of the family. She was known as a film aficionado, a gifted chef and a close confidante. Randi had a lifelong interest in advocating for animal rights, adopting four rescue animals and volunteering with Camp Rusk, a foundation for retired horses. While struggling with a motor neuropathy, she inspired us with her sharp wit and vibrant sense of humor. Her ashes will be scattered onto Accabonac Harbor off the dock of the Dubins' Hamptons property. In addition to her daughters and her husband, she is survived by her parents, Einar and Louise Thulin of Staten Island, NY, and two brothers, Richard Thulin of Bethlehem, PA, and John-David Thulin of Southampton, NY. A memorial service will be held on Sat February 20th at 10:30am in Manhattan at St. Jean Baptiste Church (184 East 76th Street).

I went to grammar school with Randi.She was always a sweet and good natured person. It was nice to see all she accomplished in her life. I'm sorry that her daughters have lost their best friend. My prayers are with your family that you find comfort in your memories with Randi. She will forever be close to you in your heart.

Dear Dubin and Thulin families:
I was very fortunate to have known Randi early in her marriage to Michael and remember the birth of Krista.
I am very sorry that I didn't see her children grow up and know her better thru the years.

Many hugs and hopeful wishes that both of your families will be able to weather the sad waters of Randi's death.

She was a beautiful person, in all ways!! Dinah Day

Michael, Krista, Erika, Karoline and Thulin family,

I cannot even begin to fathom what you are going through right now. Randi (aka "The Duchess") was everything you could possibly ask for in a person. She was selfless, kind and hilarious. She was a friend when I needed a laugh, a therapist when I was going through a break-up, and a mother when I needed some extra support.

She opened her heart and her home to me on many occasions, she was a great friend to my entire family, and a perfect mother to my very best friend.

I will never forget her laugh, here Wayne's World impressions, or the way she could take a 50 Cent song and make it her own. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, and I am just so grateful that her beauty, grace and humor will live on in her three girls.

Sending you all of my love, thoughts and prayers.

"Lewis"

Dear Dubin Family,

My daughter Rebecca had many play dates with Krista years and years ago. We both remember Randi as a sweet, kind, wonderful woman. I am very sad to hear of your loss.

Dear Michael, Krista, Erika, Karoline and Thulin family,

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier."

This Mother Theresa quote epitomizes Randi's life. She was truly beautiful inside and out.

There are no words to explain our shock and sadness, but Randi has left us with some great memories - most of them priceless and humorous.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
