Blanche Randolph Obituary

Blanche Elizabeth (Jones) Randolph, age 96 of Loudon is now present with her Lord and many family members as well as friends after passing away Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Blanche was the last to pass of the ten children born to James H. and Abbie (Hughes) Jones. Blanche was a legal secretary in Loudon for Mr. Edwin Arnold, Attorney, for more than 40 years. She also assisted Mr. Jim Harris, Attorney in the same law firm.

She was a 75-year member of the First Baptist Church, Loudon where she and husband, Ted attended with their two children. During many years in her church she was involved with various responsibilities, but teaching Sunday School to the children was one of her favorites. She remained very active in her church until her advanced age and health kept her at home. She was well known for her cooking and baking skills which she cheerfully shared with family, friends and countless church meals and activities. 

In addition to her parents, Blanche was preceded in death by her husband, Ted Randolph, Sr., brothers, Glen, Roy, Clarence, Tom, Kenneth and Bill Jones and sisters, Nelle Blount, Edythe Moore and Mary Blevins. 

She is survived by her devoted children, Ted (Lynda) Randolph and Ann Stafford; grandchildren, Chase (Ashley) Randolph, Jennifer (Daniel) Pinkston and Joshua (Karla) Stafford; great grandchildren, Parker and Cooper Randolph, Claire, Sarah, Julianna, Rebecca and Natalie Pinkston, Elon and Ruby Stafford as well as many nieces and nephews. 

While we are so saddened by her passing, we know the happiness and joy that is now hers forever. In lieu of flowers the family request you make memorial gifts to Samaritan’s Purse earmarked for Operation Christmas Child, https://samaritanspurse.org/ or to the Susan G. Komen Cure for Cancer, https://www.komen.org/.
