Randi L Sachar

Born on January 19, 1943, Randy was the beloved daughter of Irving and Ruthie and the devoted sister of Michael, all of whom predeceased her. She leaves behind a large extended family of cousins, nieces, and a nephew who loved her dearly. Randy took great pride in her family’s history, which traced back to a great grandfather whose decision to bring his children to America helped create the close-knit family she treasured throughout her life. Family gatherings were brighter because Randy was there, sharing stories, laughter, and the unique perspective that only she could bring.

Randy was also fortunate to share many happy years with her loving partner, John. Their relationship was built on companionship, devotion, and mutual support, and together they created countless cherished memories that will remain in the hearts of those who knew them.

Randy remained deeply connected to her New York roots. Randy was a proud Brooklyn girl through and through. Though she spent her adult life in Manhattan, she enjoyed cherished summers in Breezy Point, and looked forward each year to winters in Miami. She carried the warmth, resilience, humor, and spirit of Brooklyn wherever she went.

A dedicated student, Randy graduated from Adelphi University and continued her education at Fordham University's School of Criminal Justice. She went on to build a remarkable career in public service and investigation. Randy served as a Criminal Investigator with the New York City Department of Investigation in the Office of the Mayor, working under four New York City mayors during her distinguished tenure. She led the AIDS Unit for the City of New York, overseeing care and services for approximately 1,800 patients during a critical period, helping protect some of the city's most vulnerable residents. Her commitment to helping others extended far beyond government service. Randy also ran an outreach center for teenagers in East Harlem, dedicating herself to supporting young people and strengthening her community.

Away from work, Randy was fiercely competitive in the best possible way. She earned recognition as a backgammon champion in multiple states, a testament to her strategic thinking and determination.

Those who knew Randy will remember not only her impressive accomplishments but also the joy she brought into everyday life. She loved her family, loved New York, loved a good conversation, and loved making memories with the people around her. While her absence leaves a profound sadness, her life leaves an even greater sense of gratitude.

She will be greatly missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved
