Emily Clare Randall
February 23, 1995 ~ April 10, 2021
Emily Clare Randall, a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, niece, cousin, and friend, passed away on April 10, 2021.
Emily graduated from Parkview high School in 2013. She graduated from Georgia State University in 2017, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. She then earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from Covenant College, graduating May 4, 2019. Emily taught Art for almost 2 years at LaFayette High School in LaFayette, GA. She cared about her students so much, and created inventive artistic opportunities for her students to succeed personally, within the school, and in the community. Her daily motto in the classroom was “You are Loved.”
Emily especially loved being with her family. She was a devoted aunt and loved playing with 2 year old Nathan and 4 month old Harriett. Emily had many friends and enjoyed so many special times with them. She had a big heart and would always try to be there for a friend who needed her. Her faith in Christ overflowed into all of these relationships. She loved, laughed, and listened well.
Emily is survived by her mother, Ellen Randall, and her father, Michael Randall; her sisters, Erin Randall and Katelyn DiGioia and brother-in-law Jonathan DiGioia; her nephew Nathan DiGioia and niece Harriett DiGioia; her grandmother Marilyn Randall, her loving boyfriend Alan Pavlo, and many aunts, uncles, and friends. We love you mtm.

Emily was sunshine when she came to see us. She spent time with us even if Lizzie wasn’t here. I will truly miss this child. I love her and I am so sorry for your loss.

So beyond saddened to hear of Emily’s passing. Having been friends with her throughout middle school and high school, I know just how loving and caring she was. Her smiles, hugs, and kind words always lifted up my heart. I wish I had been able to tell her how much of a blessing she was to me during my teenage years. I will miss her. Rest In Peace my dear Emily. You are loved and You will be missed. Forever grateful for your friendship.
Love,

We were extremely saddened to hear of Emily’s passing. Some of the best memories I have of Emily are from Girl Scouts, & I will truly forever be grateful. Thank you Emily for always being kind, caring & having a smile on your face that was contagious!! I know she was loved deeply & will be greatly missed. Many prayers to all of her family & friends.
We are saddened to hear of Emily’s death. She was a bright presence in our classes. I enjoyed teaching her about academic language and literacy. Our prayers are with her family as they grieve. Lord Bless.
I wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Randall family during this time of immeasurable loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Emily during her stay in New York, and I would be hard pressed to single out a more kind, understanding, or optimistic individual. The news of her passing unequivocally stings as a radical shock, and is a disorienting revelation to process. I’m not sure I ever fully will.
In a city so often jaded with a level of dispassionate separation, she had a unique appreciation for the sheer variety of life on display, a sharp sense of the human connections at play, and the reverberating wisdom of how a gentle spirit of service could breath warmth into the coldest situation.
She dared to view the world through the transformative lens of love – something of a quiet, joyous, rebellion – and could always bring out the best in others in helping them step up to build a better day.
So much of who we are, and what we’re called upon to be, is often a reflection of those who’ve molded our hearts and lit the way before us. The road ahead might now seem a little darker, but it’s important to remember that the path’s still there – always made visible by that guiding light.
Emily helped light my path, along with the many other lives she touched, and for that I’ll always cherish her memory.
My dearest Emily,
I’ll say what I have wanted to say since the day you passed away. Although you were in my life briefly, I cannot even begin to explain the effect you have made on me. You saved me. I think to myself; “how can someone that made you smile with simply just being there, be so sad. How could she feel so alone, with so so so many people loving you?” And there are sooooo many people that feel how I feel about you Emily. Truly you were a ray of sunshine. There’s no other way to describe you. You were the purest of souls. Thinking about you puts a smile on my face. I will never properly express how much you mean to me. You saved me.
Through grieving you, I was able to see the love around me. I know that there’s nothing we could have done to save you, but I wish I could have thanked you. I am here on this planet because of you Emily and for that I will be forever grateful.
Love you, girl. <3
