Bessie Randle-Lewis

Bessie Malone Randle-Lewis, born on March 15, 1967, in Houston, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2025, with her loving husband by her side.

Bessie was born the oldest of three children to the late Callie Marie Sonnier and Oren Malone. She was reared by Robert Brown who stepped in and accepted a father’s responsibilities when Bessie was young. She graduated from Evan E. Worthing High School in Houston, Texas. Bessie married Markis Lewis on March 1, 2002, and relocated to Grapeland, Texas.

Bessie is survived by her husband Markis Lewis, her two sons from her first marriage, Curtis Randle Jr. and Rodney Randle (Haylie); her four grandchildren (Zamiere James, King Jabari Randle, Reina J’aliyah Randle and Malik Jacobi Douglas Randle); her sister Juanita Johnson (Terrance); her brother Robert Malone; her sister in law Sherry Sails (Darren); her brothers in law Curtis Lewis Jr. and Lance Lewis (Phillip); four nieces Denisha Molina (Ervin), Leslie Thompson, Britney Randall, and Caitlyn Lewis; four nephews Kenneth Anderson, Cody Moore, and Jerry Jordan Randall; three best friends Adrienne Mitchell, Terra Wade and Celestine Sanders; one Godmother Sandra Beard; three Goddaughters Kenzie Brown, Kyelan (Bugsy) Watson, and Kashlyn Watson and a host of relatives and friends.

Bessie was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend who loved cooking and baking for holidays and random days. Throughout her illness, Bessie never complained. She often called loved ones to check in, catch up with the latest happenings in the city and never mentioned the trials of her day. She also loved spending time and shopping for her grandchildren.

Bessie was preceded in death by her mother Callie Sonnier, brother George Andrew and first husband Curtis Randle, Sr.

Full of love, laughter, and resilience, she touched the lives of all who knew her.
