Doris Randall

Doris Randall, 87, formerly of Ephrata, passed away on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, at home with her loving son and caregiver, Colby, by her side. Born in Panama City, Florida, Doris was the daughter of the late Elwood and Edna (Mattson) Lees, and the loving wife to Edward Randall until his passing in 1999.

Doris was a 1957 high school graduate of Ephrata High School. The Holy Spirit moved Doris throughout her life, whether it was showing love through The Holy Trinity Lutheran Church as their secretary for 35 years, volunteering with the Ephrata Lions Club or Ephrata Cloister. Doris’ lively spirit was ready to jump into any and every adventure that she and Colby could think of. She loved road trips, vacationing, finding seashells at the beach, dancing, and singing whenever she had the chance. Doris always had room at her dinner table for anyone that needed a meal, a safe space, or a place to feel at home. Her fun-loving personality, laughter, kindness, and heart will be deeply missed by all the lives she touched.

Along with her son, Colby Randall, Doris is survived by a daughter, Susan Castillo and her extended family.
