From my younger years I remember your family. My Dad Howard Moths did business with your family, and I also remember your family buying my 4-H steer. Oh and your garden produce:) We enjoyed the fruits of all of your labor.
Our sincere sympathies in the loss of your mom. Allow the peace of Christ to envelope you during this time and in the coming weeks. We care, you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Callie (Clay) Randall says
Mother, as I have grown to call you, will be greatly missed. You have been a rock for me in so many ways. Getting your opinion on matters that concern my heart for my family, our chats, and special times that only you and I shared will no longer be. It will be hard for me to not have you here when I have a question or concern about something that probably isn’t worth worrying over. Knowing that your in a better place gives me some comfort.
So many times I wished I would have tried harder to spend time with you when I had the chance. But am thankful for the ones I have, as few as they were.
What an inspiration you have been for me, no one can fill your shoes.
I miss you very much.
Deb (Moths) Schmeling says
May God comfort you during this time. Your Mom was always smiling. I bought a lot of produce from them during the years. Remember the good times that you all had together.

Tom and Lillian Ostendorf says
So very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Mom. We will always have fond memories of Tom and Margie. Our family did business with the lumber yard, bought corn and vegetables, etc. But later in their lives my Tom and Tom Randall made deer sausage together, sharing some our deer and pork for his expertise and help in making some of the best salami ever. We visited them at Hysham once after they moved there. I am glad to hear Margie was able to be near family after Tom passed. God bless and comfort you all.
Sheila & Jim Hagemeister says
Remembering Marge as a very special lady. She was such a special friend to Jim’s mom, Norma who kept the books for Randall Lumber for a number of years. Tom, Marge and Norma and Don took many memorable trips in Tom’s plane. Those we laughed with, learned from, leaned on, and loved most leave us the best memories. Marge will be missed. May time ease your sorrow and loving memories bring you peace.
J Johnson says
Dear family and friends of Margie Ellen Randall – Please be comforted by the many wonderful memories of Mrs. Randall. We are promised in the Bible that there will be a time in which the pain that we now experience with this loss “will not be called to mind” (Isaiah 65:17). The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God originally intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden, will be fulfilled (Ps. 37:11, 29) including the resurrection of your loved one with the prospect of perfect life forever (John 17:3).
Steve Steele says
Archie, Kathy and family–we are so sad for your loss. I am grateful for the fact that we know where she is, no longer her flesh keeping her back from communicating. To be absent in body is to be present with the Lord. May God comfort you and give you the peace needed to know that she is in great hands. To everything I observed you do, thank you for being faithful to the call of service to your mom.
Your IBMC Family
Kathy Randall McKee says
To my cousins, Im so sorry for your loss but so grateful your mom Margie is with the Lord. She was our favorite Aunt, always so loving and kind to us when ever we went to visit in the summer time. As I got older I learned to appreciate her strength and compassion for family and friends. I will miss her but have such wonderful memories of her and the good times we shared. For the family may you find comfort in knowing we will be able to see her again and thank you for being so kind and loving to your Mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kathy
