Randi L Slomski

Randi was born with a strong and beautiful personality that she carried throughout her entire life. She was very opinionated and didn’t care what others thought because she was always right. Randi had a big heart and loved her family and friends deeply.

Throughout all of Randi’s trials and tribulations in life, she always wanted to make sure her friends and family were taken care of first. She had a dark and dry sense of humor that was very much an acquired taste, but her friends admired it.

Randi’s heart was displayed throughout her life through her art and writing. Her loved ones always admired every piece of art she drew or painted. Randi, along with her family and friends, took great pride in her military service. After graduating from high school, she enlisted in the United States Army, serving from 2003 to 2007, including an overseas deployment. While in the Army, Randi volunteered to join the company deploying to the battlefield in Iraq. Although she returned home a changed person, she earned the respect and admiration of everyone who knew her for her courage, sacrifice, and service as a combat veteran.

Although Randi’s body left this earth way too soon, we will all find her soul surrounding us in different ways. As Randi watches over us, we can find our own ways to honor her life.

Randi leaves behind her mother, Jeannette Burge; father, Paul Slomski; step father, James Janka; siblings, Danaë Shelton (Jeremy Murillo), Brandon Shelton (Annalyse Johnson), Andrianna “Andi” (née Janka) Carberry (MichaelPaul), and James “Jamey” Janka; nephews, Landon and Carter Murillo, Declan Carberry, River Shelton, Rowan Shelton, and soon-to-be Oren Shelton; best friend and co-troublemaker, Jessica Derosier (Chloe and Max); longtime boyfriend, Matt Heller; and many other close friends and family members.
