Sally Elizabeth Randolph

She was greeted by those who went before her, including her late husband, Nick Randolph; her first husband, Tom Hurley; her parents, Elizabeth Milo Smith Warren and Jessie Raymond Warren; her sister, Bonnie Smith; her brother, Jessie Warren; and countless friends and family who have no doubt been waiting for her welcome party to begin. Sally was born in Graham, Tx, where after high-school graduation she married Thomas Dale Hurley.

She is survived by their children, Teresa Hurley Hernandez and husband, Martin of Nacogdoches and Dale Hurley and wife, Julie of Weatherford; her sister, Charlene Smith of Abilene; her brother, Billy Warren of Brock; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

An enthusiastic homemaker, Sally loved sharing her skills with her children and adopted favorites, and invited friends and strangers alike into her home. Her social circles included the Newcomers’ Club, the Senior Citizens’ Center group, and several dance groups, where she met at least one of her husbands.

She also worked as a beautician and enjoyed that season of her life.

Sally met Christ as a child and in her thirties made Him the center of her life. She served in prison ministry in Rusk County for many years. At her home church, Fredonia Hill Baptist Church, she worked with the college group and served with Nick, as a Sunday greeter. She loved her church, but her heart was always for missions. Poor health ended her hope of becoming a missionary after retirement, so she befriended, supported, visited, and hosted several missionaries directly. Those visits took her to Egypt, Cyprus, and Israel, among other places. Giving was her spiritual gift, and her missionaries were her focus for 40 years.

The family thanks Dr. Charlotte Appleton, Heart to Heart Hospice, and the kind third floor staff of Nacogdoches Medical Center for their care during her final days.
