Gallatin

Randi Nadine Nadler, cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 12, 2026, in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Born December 5, 1951, in Los Angeles, California, she was the daughter of the late Bernard Fishkin and Judith Dann Fishkin. Randi lived a vibrant life full of passion and determination.

As a mother to her daughters Aileen (Dave) Barker and Michelle (James) Nadler-London, Randi exemplified strength and dedication. She took immense joy in being a grandmother to Harper, a role she treasured deeply. Harper brought her boundless joy, and she loved every moment spent with her.

Randi was known for her headstrong and determined personality. She was never one to shy away from giving her opinion, and her quick wit often left those around her in laughter. She approached life with a bold spirit and an unwavering confidence that inspired those fortunate enough to know her.\

Among her many interests, Randi found great pleasure in traveling, making jewelry, and celebrating the timeless music of Elvis Presley. These hobbies were reflective of her vibrant personality and her zest for life.

Randi is also survived by her beloved sister, Beth Fishkin Sanders, and her adoring nieces, Stephanie Lauren Sanders, Alexandra Melanie Sanders, and Brittanie Ilene Sanders, along with her great-niece, Bryce Judith Sanders. The bonds she formed with her family were strong, and her legacy will continue to live on through them.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her longtime partner Steven Hall.

As we remember Randi, we celebrate a life that touched many hearts, a spirit that was never afraid to be herself, and the unforgettable memories she created with her loved ones. Her presence will be sorely missed, but her love and the lessons she imparted will remain forever in our hearts.

OBITUARY

Debra (Debi) Anne Ohanian passed away on November 11, 2025, surrounded by her family and friends. Debi was born on June 28, 1953, in Burbank, California, to Eugene and Gladys Winkler. She attended Burbank High School, graduating in 1971.

In 1973, she married her high school sweetheart, Mark Ohanian. Debi and Mark traveled the world together and lived in a variety of places along the West Coast. Together, they built a family that was the center of their world. They raised their two sons, Josh and Chris, in Sebastopol, California, and found their greatest joy when spending time with family. 

Mark went to Heaven in 1998, leaving Debi to very successfully raise Josh and Chris on her own. Debi was the best mom and grandma, sister and friend. She loved spending time with her sons and granddaughter, Aliyah, as well as with her sisters and friends. She was an avid athlete. She loved to swim, walk, 4sh, play baseball, tennis, basketball, golf, ping-pong and billiards. She was competitive, often dominating her sons in sports, but was always a gracious winner. She was also an avid genealogist, tracing her family back to before they came over on the May6ower.

Debi loved all animals, particularly dogs and cats. She had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and joke. She loved listening to and playing music. She really enjoyed spending time with her many friends. She spent time enjoying the sun, either in her pool or on her boat on Lake Sonoma. More recently, she loved to take Aliyah to the park with slices of bread to feed the ducks; something Aliyah will likely never forget. 

She was an excellent writer, wordsmith and poet. As her profession was court reporting, actively working until her passing, she always took pride in her writing and grammar. She taught her sons these skills at a young age as well. She was an amateur artist (painting and drawing) as well, although, some of her works were unintentionally quite Picasso-esque, which her family loved.

Debi was the best mom her two sons could ever have hoped for. Always telling them how much she loved them and how much they meant to her, and they always felt the same about her. She put both boys through college on her own, each graduating with multiple bachelor’s degrees. She saw or spoke with both of her sons every day until her passing.

Debi is survived by her two sons, Josh and Chris, her granddaughter, Aliyah, her sisters Annette, Kathy, Jeanne,  and sisters-in-law, Nancy and Priscilla, several nieces and nephews, and her cat, Biggy Smalls.

There will be a celebration of life ceremony at Hop Monk in Sebastopol on Saturday, January 24, 2026, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
