Obituary

Randi Lynne Ginder, 71, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025, at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Washington, D.C., Randi was the daughter of the late John and Joan (Busching) Settle. She graduated from Concordia Lutheran High School and went on to dedicate her life to serving others as a paramedic and paramedic instructor. Randi took great pride and honor in caring for those in need and in teaching the next generation of first responders who shared her professionalism and passion for helping others.

Randi was always one to keep busy. She was extremely organized and loved to preplan her next event. She enjoyed gardening, but nothing was more important to her than her family and their time together. In addition, Randi proudly represented Mary Kay Cosmetics starting in the late 1990s and continued for more than 25 years, helping countless clients look and feel their best.
