Bonita Randolph (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Bonita Fay Randolph, daughter of Emil and Hazel Arnold Berg, was born April 15, 1924, near Lebanon, Missouri. She departed this life Tuesday, June 20, 2017, in Northridge Place, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of ninety-three years, two months, and five days.
On June 7, 1943, she was united in marriage to Leo Albert Randolph, and to this union one daughter was born.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Leo, on September 23, 1977; and a brother, Lloyd Berg.
Bonita is survived by her daughter, Aloise Zuchelli, and her husband, Earl, of Ballwin, Missouri; two grandsons, Nick Ealy, and his wife, Monica, and Mitch Ealy, all of St. Louis, Missouri; a brother, Clyde Berg, and his wife, Nancee, of Lebanon, Missouri; a sister, Fern Berg, of Lebanon, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was born and raised in the Lebanon area, and graduated from Lebanon High School, where she played clarinet in the school band. She then graduated from Draughon Business College in Springfield, Missouri. After she and Leo were married, they made their home near Lebanon, and lovingly raised their daughter. In addition to being a devoted homemaker to her husband and family, Bonita worked for Appleby Boats and continued when it became Lowe Boats. She was the comptroller for the company for many years.
Bonita was a longtime member of the Church of Christ and was a faithful and active member of Hays Street Church of Christ for as long as her health allowed. Her faith was always at the center of her life.
In her spare time she enjoyed sewing, working puzzles, and playing board games. She also was an avid reader. She loved to travel with her family and friends and especially enjoyed Disney World, Hawaii, and Branson. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren and she liked attending many of their functions.
Bonita was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her ninety-three years.
Memorial to Hays Street Church of Christ may be made through the funeral home.
