Judith Ann Randlett, age 82, of Sandy Hook, passed away in her home on November 18, 2025. Judith was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, on May 19,1935, to Ernest P Wood and Margaret (Norma) Philips Wood.

She went to Andrew Warde High School in Fairfield, and graduated from Western Connecticut University with a bachelor’s in teaching. She married Burton Clark in July 1964 and lived on an American Army base in Germany until 1966. On November 18, 1977, she married Stephen Randlett.

Over the years, she worked as a substitute teacher and became a program director at Kiddie Campus in Monroe. Judi worked for decades at Barclay Knitwear and eventually wound up working at Boehringer Ingelheim where she met many great friends who continued to stick by her side until her last days.

Anyone who knew Judi would say she was a strong-willed woman who did not complain and kept her pain to herself. She fought to stay with us until the very end, never giving up hope, Judith was a devoted mother, step-mother and grandmother. She spent recent years traveling with family and had hoped to do so much more. Her favorite place to be was Rhode Island, no matter the season. The greatest joy she had came from spending time with her many grandchildren and going on adventures with them.

She is survived by her children Teal McCann and her husband Brian; Burton Clark and his wife Kelly; Christopher Clark; Douglas Randlett and his wife Sarah. Judi is also survived by her step-children; Michael Randlett and Karyn Randlett and her grandchildren: Chelsey McCann, Alexander McCann, Bailey McCann, Dylan McCann, Hayley Clark-Wilson, Kendall Allanach, Cassidy Randlett, Adam Randlett, Rebecca Randlett, Kelly Gregoire, Allison Lucas and Tori Viavoda. She also has many devoted cousins and wonderful friends who all miss her dearly.

We would like to extend a special thank you to her dearest friend, Gail Svensson, for everything she did to support our mother in the last years and throughout their friendship.

Judi was predeceased by her parents; Ernest and Norma Wood; her brother, Roger Wood; her ex-husband Burton Clark; husband Stephen Randlett; and stepdaughter Robin Randlett.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on January 17 at 10:30 am at St. Rose of Lima Church in Newtown. All are welcome. Judi will be put to rest in a private ceremony at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield in the spring.
