Vallarie Ann Randle

Vallarie Ann Randle, born December 18, 1954, in Jasper, Tennessee, peacefully departed this life on January 4, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of Ethel V. Carr and Louie D. Williams.

Vallarie’s unwavering faith in Christ guided her throughout her life, and she united with the Inner-City Church of Christ, where her devotion and love for the Lord shone brightly. She loved serving and uplifting the senior saints of the church. She was educated in the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, proudly graduating from Pearl Cohn High School in 1972.

On October 7, 1990, Vallarie married the love of her life, Wilbert Randle Jr., and together they built a strong and loving family. She dedicated many years to working as a cook at Iguana, earning the respect and friendship of all who knew her. Later, Vallarie fulfilled her dream of opening SonShine Patch Daycare, which she owned and operated until her well-deserved retirement.

Vallarie’s creativity and generosity were evident in her love for arts and crafts, t-shirt making, and her work with Jesus Helping Hands—a side hustle she established after retirement to continue serving others in her community. She enjoyed cooking and would make sure everyone was fed with Jesus Helping Hands.

Her spirit, kindness, and dedication touched countless lives and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Vallarie leaves a legacy of faith, compassion, and creativity, cherished by family, friends, and all whose lives she enriched. She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, sister, Eula; children, Keisha, Karlendos; and grandchildren, Donesha, Randall, Jr.
