Mother Josephine Elizabeth Brown Randolph was born on March 15, 1940 to the union of the late Elder James Harold Brown, Sr. and the late Lucy Potter Brown in Jasper, Florida, who affectionately called her "Sister".  She attended Hertoma High School and was a member of their 1957 graduating class.

She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized in the Pentecostal Holiness Church Faith.  She served under the leadership of the late Bishop Coy A. Brown and the Church Built on the Rock Holiness Church until she later joined her brother, Elder Henry Brown, Sr. and the Washington Chapel Holiness Church where she served as church mother until her health failed.  She was an active member of the 100 Women in White and the Ladies Fellowship Group.

She was known for strong alto voice which she offered up as a part of the Brown Sisters, the Church Built on the Rock Choir, the Hamilton County Mass Choir and the Washington Chapel Holiness Church choirs.  During devotional services she would render her favorite congregational song, "Look Around and See, What the Lord Has Done" .

She worked as a seamstress for Levi's Strauss and Company for 30 years where she was an active member of the CIT Community Involvement Team until her retirement in 1996.   She retired to take on a hobby she loved, and held near and dear to her heart, her family.  She raised her children, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren as well.  Mother Randolph was well known for her southern style of cooking and baking and will always be remembered for her care and love for her family, church and community.  She departed this life to abide with her Heavenly Father on Friday, October 4, 2019.
