Jeanette L. Randazza Obituary (1926 - 2014)

Jeanette L. Randazza, age 88, of Falmouth, Maine died on March 27, 2014 at The Oceanview Falmouth House surrounded by family and friends. Born in 1926 in Salem, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Alma and Edward Dumas. In 1949, she married John B. Randazza, her devoted husband and they were happily married for over 60 years. A Registered Nurse educated during World War II, she later earned her BS Degree in Vocational Education. She worked in various hospitals as an R.N. and also as a School Nurse in Brunswick, ME. Contracted by Maine Vocational Region Ten, she organized the first Health Occupations Education Program and she was an instructor in that program from 1975-1984. She continued to serve as a Maine state consultant for Health Occupations until her retirement in 1989. Jeanette was the heart and soul of her family. She unknowingly touched many lives and although she had many professional successes, her true passion was being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She is predeceased by her husband, John. She is survived by her five children; Margaret (Bruce) Grimes of Kittery Maine, Jan (Neil) Rauch of Baltimore Maryland, Ben (Ayin) Randazza of Moorpark, California, Nina Randazza (Carol Trapasso) of Rochester, NY and Joel (Bonnie) Randazza of Harpswell, Maine. She was blessed with six loving and devoted grandchildren: Jesse, Elizabeth, Theresa, Joshua, David and Evan and six great grandchildren. Additional survivors are Jeanette’s two siblings in North Carolina. Jeanette’s family would like to thank the Oceanview staff at The Falmouth House, Dr. Robert Frasier and staff at Intermed, and Southern Maine Hospice for their care. Jeanette’s last years were made especially rich by the incredible caregivers at Comfort Keepers. Her family is very grateful for the loving, respectful care she received. Private services will be held later this summer. Arrangements are by Stetson Funeral Home, 12 Federal Street, Brunswick, Maine 04011. Memorial condolences may be expressed at stetsonsfuneralhome.com
