Janet Lynne (Wilson) Randall

Janet Lynne Randall, 83, of Carmel, IN passed away Saturday, July 4, 2026. She was born December 23, 1942, in Lebanon, IN to Charles and Sarah (Baker) Wilson.

Following graduation from Carmel High School in 1961, Janet worked for Indianapolis Life Insurance as an office assistant. Later, she was employed with Orchard Park Presbyterian Church and Forrest Dale Elementary School as a secretary. After several years with the Carmel-Clay Schools, Janet retired as Administrative Assistant. Janet and Neal were married on June 16, 1962.

Janet was a charter and active member of Carmel Christian Church, having served in the various roles as Sunday School teacher, Board member, Deacon, Elder, and a member of the Christian Women’s Fellowship during her more than 60 years. She enjoyed serving on many church committees such as Outreach, Hospitality, and Care Ministry. She especially appreciated the Crafting Group where they crocheted beautiful baby blankets, scarves and hats which were donated to hospitals, schools, and shelters. Also, Janet was a former board member of the Friends of Carmel-Clay Public Library and volunteered in the library bookstore. Janet was a docent with the Carmel-Clay Historical Society.  She also spent many hours as a volunteer at St. Vincent Hospice, where her faith grew by working alongside the many dedicated people. Janet commented that above all else, she learned God watches over each one during the good times and the difficult times. Her stated desire was everyone who had been a part of her life, would carry God personally and lean on His ever-present love.

Janet was an avid reader, with her favorite genre being historical fiction. Her dad, also a voracious reader, would take her and sister, Sue, to the library every week, which was a very good example to follow.

Serving as presidents of Carmel Band Boosters during the 1980’s and volunteering in PTO, Janet and Neal were always involved in their children’s school activities.

In addition to her parents, Janet was preceded in death by her sister, Sue Wilson Page.

Survivors include her loving husband of 64 years, Neal Randall; son, Scott (Kim) Randall; daughter, Jodi Randall; grandson, Devin Goedeker; granddaughters, Holly (Chris) Trowbridge, Stacy Randall, and Alyssa Randall; step-granddaughter, Kaleigh Bowers; and step-grandson, Jesse Bowers.
