Randee Fawcett
SONORA - Randee Fawcett was born Sept. 8, 1947 in San Angelo, Texas to Lee Baker and Bobbie Halbert Fawcett. She went to be with the Lord on Monday, Sept. 21, 2009 after a long and courageous fight with diabetes. Memorial service will be 1 pm. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at St. John's Episcopal Church in Sonora, Texas.
After attending public schools in Sonora, she graduated from Angelo State University. Randee's early years were on the Sutton County ranch settled by her great grand parents in the 1890s. After her marriage to Bob Caruthers, she returned to the ranch and actively ran the operation until her death.
On May 21, 1988, she was married to her soul mate, Robert “Bobby” Doran. Together, they operated Encino Ranch. Randee was proud of her ranching heritage and worked throughout her life to maintain and improve the land, livestock and wildlife. The Family Land Heritage Program honors farms and ranches that have been in continuous agricultural operation by the same family for 100 years or more.
In 2000, Randee was proud to travel to Austin to accept the recognition for her ranch. That same year, Bobby and Randee received the Conservation Rancher of the Year Award presented by the Edwards Plateau SWCD and the Sonora Downtown Lion's Club. She was an active member of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raiser's Association and Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raiser's Association. She was also a very active member and supporter of St. John's Episcopal Church.
Randee was preceded in death by her parents, her sons, Brant Halbert Caruthers and Robert Keyes Caruthers and her husband Robert Weston Doran.
She leaves behind her half-brother, Roger Fawcett and first cousins Bill Fawcett, Curtis Fawcett, Robert Fawcett, John Keyes Finegan, George Whitehead, Sara Fawcett Winters, Linda Fisher, Patrick McBride, Robert McBride and their families, and Bob Caruthers, her ex-husband and dear friend.
Randee was truly one of a kind. Anyone who knew her admired her for her ability to weather the storms of life. She loved her family and friends, her land and livestock, her church, and her pets. She especially loved life!
The family wishes to thank her employee and friend, Eugene Acosta, Dr. DeMory and the technicians at the Shannon Dialysis Unit, the employees of Hudspeth Memorial Hospital who helped her have three wonderful weeks she didn't expect to be here for, and most of all, her devoted army of friends who shared day to day experiences with her over the years.
