Age: 37
Education: Stephens College, BA; Baker University, MBA
Hometown: Hartford, KS
Spouse: Anthony S. Randall. Tony passed away in July following a two and a half year battle against brain cancer.
Role Model:
Pam Walstrom with Capper Foundation Easter Seals understands what motivates people and offered them an opportunity to help when they can.
Best Advice Ever Received:
“Let people do their jobs.” Advice from Brig. Gen. Tod Bunting (ret). I translated it to mean: let people do what they are good at and they will deliver.
Accomplishment Most Proud Of:
I am most proud of the life I created with my husband and the love we shared. We didn’t let his cancer diagnosis stop us from enjoying life, being optimistic about the future or creating memories. We traveled. We laughed. We lived life. We remained positive until the cancer took control and all there was left was to say good-bye. I am very proud that when Tony passed away he knew I was crazy about him and that he was deeply loved.
