Mary Mechelle Randall of Lexington Park, Maryland, beloved daughter, sister, aunt and niece, passed away on March 3, 2021 at the age of 38. She bore a heavy load all her life but you could seldom tell. Mary was such an inspiration to all she encountered. A St. Mary s County treasure, everyone Mary met was her new best friend and it seemed as though she knew everyone. She loved everybody and they returned the sentiment.
Mary was always one to make her presence felt. She began volunteering at the Southern Maryland Center for Independent Living (SMCIL) in 2010 and was in the SMCIL Volunteer Spotlight in November 2020. During her tenure, she was a fierce advocate for the rights of those with differing disabilities. You can see her accomplishments throughout St. Mary s County, from the curbside cutouts for wheelchairs at fast food restaurants to the handicapped stalls in the parks. She truly left her mark by creating a much better place for all to live.
