Randy A. (Chatell) DiPalma, 66, formerly of Warwick and West Warwick, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
Born in North Kingstown, she was a daughter of the late Antoinette A. (Ribeiro) Chatell and Joseph O. “Jerry” Chatell. Randy lived her life with an open heart and a genuine love for people. She cherished time spent with her family, found comfort and joy in listening to country music, and was known for her talkative nature and ability to strike up a conversation with anyone she met. Her warmth, humor, and engaging spirit left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Randy was the beloved mother of Fallon Erickson and her husband, Michael, of Warwick, and the devoted and caring grandmother of Penelope and Tobias Erickson, who brought her immense pride and happiness.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Thursday, January 15, 2026 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in the PRATA-GALLOGLY Funeral Home, 78 Providence Street, West Warwick. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of one’s choice in Randy’s memory.
