Pauline Yvonne Cox Randall, age 85, was born September 3, 1940, in Bauxite, AR, to Carl and Mila Cox. She passed from this life on May 11, 2026. Pauline "Polly" grew up in Bauxite and graduated from Bauxite High School in 1958. A short time afterward, Polly moved with her parents to Houston, TX, and Houston became her home until November 2020, when she moved back to Benton to be near family. Soon after her move to Houston, Polly met and married the love of her life, Bill Randall, on May 5, 1961. They were married for almost 52 years, until Bill's passing on March 5, 2013. During their married years, she devoted her life to Bill and to making a home for them. Polly was baptized into the Lord's body and worshipped whenever she was able with His church.
Polly was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Randall; a son, Carl, who was stillborn; her parents, Carl and Mila Cox; two brothers William "Bill" Cox and Osa Dean "Pat" Cox; three sisters, Ouida Fowler, Jean Paige Lucas, and Marie Moore; and one niece who was like a sister, Wanda Fowler Goad.
Polly is survived by two sisters, Carolyn Rice of Benton, and Mila Joan Wilson of Bryant as well as many nieces and nephews who loved her and will miss her.
