The approval from council was announced on what would have been Randall’s 102nd birthday, which was just five days after her death. “Every time I think of Ms. Randall I think of the Rialto Historical Society.

I would hope that in the spirit of all she contributed to our city that we give this recognition to her,” said Mayor Deborah Robertson.
