Lori Elaine Casson was born on November 13, 1964, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to
Vivian S. Caldwell and James M. Caldwell.

From her earliest days, it was clear that
Lori was destined to leave this world better than she found it, and by every measure, she did.

Lori received her primary and secondary education at Heritage Christian High
School, graduating in 1982. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana in 1986, and later a Master of
Social Work from Indiana University in 1998. Her education was not merely
academic, but the foundation upon which she would build a lifetime of purposeful
and transformative service.

Lori accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at a young age while a member of Olivet
Baptist Church. In 1990, she found her spiritual home at Eastern Star Church.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Derrick Casson; her three children, Derrick
Casson, Destiny Casson-Nzeyimana, and Delaney Casson; one grandchild, Zory Aya
Nzeyimana; her mother, Vivian S. Caldwell; and a host of family and friends whose
lives are forever richer for having known her.

Lori Elaine Casson departed this life on April 13, 2026. She loved deeply and servedfaithfully. The light she carried into every room she entered does not go out…it lives on in every life she touched.

Annie Ruth Harris Randolph was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, to James “Nun” Harris and Annie Mae (Neal) Harris. She was preceded in death by her parents and two half-siblings.

Annie later moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where she attended School #4 (Mary Cable Building) and Crispus Attucks High School. Her faith blossomed at Greater Elim Missionary Baptist Church, where she sang in the Olivet Youth Choir. After high school, she was accepted to the University of Alabama but chose instead to embrace marriage and family. On May 13, 1963, she married Isaac Randolph, Sr., and together they were blessed with ten children.

Her spiritual journey deepened at Bethesda Temple Apostolic Church, where she received the Holy Ghost after hearing the sermon “A One-Winged Bird Can’t Fly,” emphasizing the necessity of both water and Spirit baptism. Under the leadership of District Elder E. H. Vaughn, Annie faithfully served in various ministries.

After experiencing the devastating loss of her youngest child, Gregory E. Randolph, Annie transformed grief into service. She worked with the March of Dimes, Salvation Army, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Nora Elementary School PTO, sponsored a child internationally, and founded G.E.R. Enterprise, a humanitarian outreach rooted in compassion.

Her professional life included work as a legal clerk, at the Indiana Girls School, Saint Monica Catholic Church’s After School Program, and as an independent Avon representative.

Though independent in thought, Annie remained deeply committed to biblical order. She supported her husband during hospital visits and later joined him in transferring church membership to Zion Tabernacle Apostolic under Suffragan Bishop Joseph D. Farris. She walked alongside him as he established and pastored True Life Apostolic Church.

Throughout her life, Annie testified to God’s faithfulness, believing worship carried deeper meaning because of its cost. Though her name may not appear in history books, she found peace in knowing God knew her name.

Annie was preceded in death by her beloved youngest son, Gregory E. Randolph. Annie leaves to cherish her legacy her devoted husband, Isaac Randolph, Sr.; her sons Ike Randolph, Jr. (Regina), Steve, Gary, and Vincent (Christine); her daughters Ailene (Jerry) House, Alethia (Malcolm) Watson, Wandola, Syreese (Shabazz) Branson, and Vivian (Shad) Morgan; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her half-brother James Harris; those who lovingly called her “Mom”; and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

Celebration of Life services will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 12:00pm at Kingdom Apostolic Ministries, 4900 E. 38th St., with visitation there from 11:00-12:00pm. Entombment will be at Washington Park North Cemetery
