Obituary
It is with great sadness but knowing he is at peace, that we announce the passing of Don Randell on December 5. He was a proud retired Chief of Police of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and a devoted Mason, Shriner and Orange Lodge member (Port Rexton). Don died at home surrounded by his family and Betty his wife of 65 years who was always at his side.
Leaving to mourn his wife Elizabeth (née Moody) and three children: Donna (Eric) Stone, Janice (Robert) Street, Coquitlam BC and Charles (Deborah) Randell; Grandchildren Sarah (Onur) Ozahioglu, Calgary, Matthew (April) Stone, Dallas, Erica (Dustin Rideout) Stone, Jason (Joy Cluett) Stone, Ben (Jessica) Street, Wisconsin and Katie (Nik) Wooton, Calgary.
He felt very fortunate and thankful to have seven great-grandchildren, Lotus, Luna, Ella, Lilah, Scotty, Decker and Rebecca. Don also leaves to mourn three sisters, Hilda Burt, Sue Robinson and Betty Kelly and two sisters-in-law Mabel and Nancy Randell, along with many nieces, nephews and a large circle of friends.
There were many people involved with Don’s care over the past year, but the family wish to send a special thank you to Father Darryl Critch, Dr.‘s Tony Rolfe, Jenelle Taylor and Michael Furey, staff of 6th East and 5 South A, nurse Samantha Abbott and caregiver Chantel Giles.
Due to Covid restrictions a celebration of this remarkable man’s life will be held at a later date. Donations, in his memory, may be made to the Church of the Good Samaritan, St John’s or the St. John’s Adult Heath Care Foundation Cardiac Care program.
In our dad’s own words “It’s time to say goodbye”.
Aunt Betty and family,
We will certainly miss Uncle Don so much and his memory will remain in our hearts forever. He was certainly the best story teller and I remember so many nights just sitting around in Newfoundland or Florida listening and laughing until tears ran down our cheeks. Sending prayers, hugs and love to you all. Love Bev, Owen, Jenelle, and Taylor.

The Randell Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Don. Being friends with Jan and Rob, we have gotten to know Don over the years and can look back fondly on many great visits. Ben’s wedding in Wisconsin and Katie’s in Calgary were two recent special occasions where we got to spend time with him. May all your memories of Don and his full and happy life comfort you during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.
Betty, Donna, Janice & Charlie, Sorry to hear of your loved one’s passing. I will never forget Don! It was the early sixties and I was a kid fresh out of high school looking for my first job in the city. Don &. Betty took me under their wing and boarded me at minimal cost. On his day off Don would drive me around the city looking for work for me. Things like that you never forget! Rest in peace Don. You’ve earned it.
Jan and family, So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Thinking of you and sending deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Mrs. Randell, Donna, Janice, and Charlie:
My heart aches for you all over the loss of Mr. Randell, your Dad. It feels as if we have lost another family member. He was such an amazing person, a role model for us all as we were growing up. I have wonderful memories of camping trips together as a child. Please know we are thinking and praying for you at this difficult time. I am sure dad is smiling from ear to ear now that him and his best buddy are together again. Sending hugs across the miles, God Bless.
Charles, Deborah and The Randell family:
So sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. Treasure your memories.
Mrs. Randell, Charlie and the whole Randell family. I am truly sorry to hear of Mr Randell’s passing. He truly was a lovely gentleman. One of my favourite memories is when he came to my apartment to take my car around the bay, as I didn’t have my licence when I bought my first car. Unfortunately the City had come in and tore up the sidewalk. Mr. Randell wasn’t long finding some boards and making a ramp to get the car out on the road. You were such lovely neighbours, especially to my parents and I heard them comment so many times how they enjoyed your company. Keep your memories close at heart. My deepest sympathy. Carolyn and family
Betty, Donna, Janice, Charlie and families, I was so saddened to here that “Mr. Randell” had passed away. He was a very big part of our lives growing up as neighbors for almost 20 years on Glendale ace. He and Dad drove to and from work together everyday and continued their friendship outside of work. I remember one day while Dad was very sick in hospital and didn’t want to see anyone, but when Mr. Randell came by, he said he would see him. After sharing a few words they both filled up with emotion, I understood then the connection they both shared.
Cherish your memories and keep them close to your heart
❤️ Valerie (Gill) Wicks
The Randell Famiily. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Sincerely Reuben and Ruth Hatcher
To Jan, Rob, Ben, and Jess, Katie and nick., mrs Randell, and the whole Randell family, we are so sad to hear of your wonderful husband, dad, grandad and great grandad’s passing.

Special thanks for the Randell family for always welcoming us in their hearts and making us feel like “home” with them. Sincerely Mike and Debbie Marino

You can be sure that if there are moose in heaven that Don and Dad (Eric) will be planning a hunt soon.
Don Parsons
I have just heard of the passing of retired Chief Don Randell from a family member in B.C. I recall meeting Chief Don when I was representing the Canadian Police Association and attended the conference in St. Johns prior to 1981. We met again on several occasions at CACP conferences across the country and I have fond memories of speaking with Don and bragging about how fortunate we were to live in the two best places in Canada. It must have been the Ocean air, albeit different oceans.
I take this opportunity to pass along my deep condolences to Don’s wife and family knowing full well how proud they are of Don’s commitment to community service.
Rest in Peace..
Bob Stewart
Chief Constable (rtd.)
Vancouver Police Department
Betty, Donna, Janice, Charlie and all the Randell family. It is with a heavy heart that I write these words to you. You have been in my life since 1963. A very loving family who did much for me over the years. Don was no exception. Many times he was called upon to fix something for my family. He was very skilled at many things and always responded when called upon. As many others have written here, Don was a true gentleman. He was ethical, reliable and caring. He loved you all and Betty was the love of his life. There are many things I could say about this honorable man . He had a positive impact on all who knew him. Always greeted company with a smile. His stories were always enjoyable, I loved to hear him chuckle. He was and always will be in the hearts of my sons and me. Much love and sincerest sympathy. Selina, Peter, Steven, Jim and families.
.
Mr. Randell, I will always treasure my childhood memories of you. May you rest in peace. With love from your godson.
So sorry to hear that Don has passed away.. we had many laughs together down at “The Park” in Florida.. Don was a very soft spoken individual but he always got his point across! Don was missed by all when he finally decided to sell his property in Florida as I am sure he will be greatly missed here in St. John’s and beyond. Rest In Peace Don as you fly with the Angels to your final home!
Our deepest sympathy to Betty and Family.

Now, they both have entered the joy of their Lord and we are left to cherish the time we had with them and to cherish each other as they taught us to do. May God’s peace surround you always. Rosalind

Mrs. Randell (you’ll always be that to me), Janice, Charlie and Donna. Where to begin? My heart aches for you all and I truly feel that I’ve lost another member of my family. I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Randell’s passing. We have so many wonderful memories and stories. He was a “best buddy” to my Dad (Eric Parsons) and I know they are now together again – up to their old antics for sure. I remember as a little girl when we moved next door to the Randell’s on Hamel Street. Immediately, we all bonded. I became best friends with Janice and Dad and Mr. Randell became the best of buddies. (I’m sure Janice will remember the time she took a “lickin” for me – probably the only time I ever pulled one over on Mr. Randell.) Our families moved next door to one another to Glendale Avenue in Mount Pearl – even our phone numbers were only one digit apart. When I was a teenager, I remember one Saturday morning when Dad and Mr. Randell were sitting at our kitchen table having a cup of tea; and I walked into the kitchen in my “one-piece” pajamas and he asked me if he could give the toast to the bride, when I got married. I told him “Yes” but only if he didn’t mention the pajamas. There are a million stories like that in my heart. When my eldest son, Matthew, was born there was no question that I wanted Mr. Randell to be his God-father because he was, to me, the ideal role model. Mom always kept a picture on her nightstand of Dad and Mr.. Randell dressed all in white clothing, when they were vacationing in Florida together. I just found out from Janice, that Mr. Randell kept the same picture on his nightstand as well. One of my most comforting memories at my dad’s funeral was having Mr. Randell’s supporting arm around me at the gravesite. I wish I was there to provide the same support to you all. Mr. Randell will always hold a special place in my heart. All my love, Donetta
Betty, Donna, Janice & Charlie
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Our Dad’s grew up together in Port Rexton and remained friends for many years. Some good times indeed!
I remember as a small girl being afraid of him because he was a “policeman”and I remember going camping in Terra Nova with all you guys.
Thinking of you all
Elaine
Donna and family. I know how hard it is to lose a family member. Take care of yourself and share the wonderful memories with your family. He will always be with you in your heart. God bless you all.
Betty and Family
Sorry to hear of Chief Don,s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him and knew him to be a gentleman, and as an officer you were proud to call him Chief. . He is now with a heavenly force, where he will be proud to guard the throne of God, as he was to guard the city of men. ( Policeman,s prayer to St. Michael)
May he RIP.
Bob Morgan Sgt. (Ret)
Such a kind , gentle man . RIP Don Randell .
Condolences to Mrs Randell and all the family
Donna & Family, I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to say goodbye to your Dad. When I looked at his picture I instantly remembered his warm smile from all those years ago when I lived just around the corner from you. I’m so very sorry, Donna and I do hope the memories you shared as a family will make it a little easier for you, your Mom and all the family in the weeks and months ahead. ????❤

So sorry to hear about Mr Randall. My thoughts go out to all the family especially Mrs Randall. Mr Randall’s daughter is a very close friend of mine in Vancouver. One time both he and his wife were visiting Jan, I happened to be over at Jan’s and Mr Randall and I found out we both were avid watchers of the Young and the Restless. He was actually an expert about the show, we had many talks regarding the show both in person and when I’d be with Jan and she’d be calling home. A few good laughs too. My thoughts are with the family.
Dear Betty and family,
It was with sadness that we heard of Don’s passing. Our deepest condolences. We have fond memories of you both from our Florida park days . Don always greeted everyone with a warm smile. May shared memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Our sincere condolences to you all during this sad time. We have many fond memories of Don and he was always up for a little joke. Chris’s first encounter with Don was when he needed a palm tree cut down in Florida, which took them the better part of the day. After ruining bar and chain on power saw they finally got it down and with some good laughs they had to roll it to the end of the driveway. Every time he saw us after he would always laugh and mention it. Betty we know you’ll miss him but he’s now at peace. Thinking of you all and wishing we could be there but with COVID it’s so hard to pay our respects. God Bless you all.
Betty, Donna, Eric and all the family, Tony and I send our sincere condolences . We have many memories of Don in the park in Florida. Also, we have heard many stories from my mom who always cherished her friendship with you all. Out thoughts and prayers are being sent to you today, Joan
