Margaret J. "Meg" Randazza

Margaret J. "Meg" Randazza, 50, a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine, of Andover, Massachusetts, and formerly of Lowell, passed away peacefully on Thursday evening, January 22nd at Mass General Hospital after a long illness with cancer.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts on May 19th, 1964, the daughter of Michelle "Mickey" (Bourgeois) Randazza and the late Joseph P. Randazza, she was mother of Juliette M. Randazza, and the widow of Wayne C. Middleton.

Meg was a graduate of the Academy of Notre Dame, in Tyngsboro with the class of 1982. She went on to graduate with Bachelor and Master’s degrees in computer science from Brown University.

In 2005 she received a Doctorate in Veterinarian Medicine from Tufts School of Veterinarian Medicine.

Currently, Meg was the owner and operator of Andover Mobile Vet of Andover, a home veterinarian service to many pet owners in the Merrimack Valley.

Meg had many interests among them photography and gardening.

However, Meg's greatest joy was that of being a mother to her daughter, Juliette M. Randazza of Andover, a sophomore at her alma mater, Brown University.

Besides her mother Mickey and her partner, Polly, Meg is survived by her brother Peter and his wife Trish of Rye Beach, NH, and by her loving companion Chris Cormier of Andover, MA.

    Meg took care of our 2 cats until they passed away last fall. We just adopted a cat and heard about her passing from the MSPCA. It was heartbreaking news. So very sorry.

    To Dr. Megs Family, I just received the letter yesterday. I am so sorry for your loss she was always there to help me out. I first met her when I needed a vet to come to the house to put my beautiful pointer down, we all sat under a big pine tree outside with my 92 year old mother and Dr. Meg was wonderful. Peaceful and beautiful, then my mom passed a few years later and I adopted two german short haired pointers from the MSPCA in Methuen and Dr. Meg took care of them and then one got really sick and I had to put her down. Dr. Meg came to my house and I played beautiful Reiki music and my dog went to the other side very peacefully. Dr. Meg and Susan gave me a great big hug after. I'm sure there are a lot of animals that where waiting for her at the rainbow bridge when she crossed over. Dr. Meg say hi to Katie and Sam when you see them, give them a big hug. You will be deeply missed.

    In addition to being my daughter's best friend throughout vet school, Meg was an accomplished pianist. I stayed with Juliette two summers while Meg was away at piano school. Juliette, I am so pleased you are at Brown and are well on your way to a wondrous life of your own. Your mother was always very proud of you.

    I am so sorry to hear of Meg's passing. She was such a kind and generous person, and the world was a better place with her in it. She graciously helped me to prepare for applying to veterinary school, and I will be forever grateful for that. She was willing to help out anyone and everyone that she knew, and it is that level of kindness that will be remembered. May she always rest in peace.

    It was an awful moment today to hear of Dr. Meg's passing today. I'm so appreciative to have met her and the support she provide us on a dark day. If we all could leave a mark and impression or benefit another person like she did,, would be a life well lived. I don't have words to express my thoughts and feelings of her loss. She spoke fondly of her daughter and was so proud of her. God speed Dr. Meg..thank you so much for all you did for our family!

    Meg was a true friend especially during our formative high school years and then long after that. I just looked back at the 1982 NDA Yearbook. We all look so young and happy. I will remember her that way and as a treasured friend. She was smart, worked hard, had great sense of humor and laugh. She was someone who made a difference in my life.

  • 2015-01-28 18:58:00 | May Curran  - Former Andover Mobile Vet vet tech
    I am so saddened by Meg's passing. She was such a gentle, generous and compassionate soul towards all living beings. I'm so glad to have met her when we were both volunteering at the Methuen MSPCA just before she started Andover Mobile Vet. It was both a privilege and joy to embark on that journey with her. She taught me so much, not only as a veterinary professional, but more importantly, what it meant to live a life of purpose. She will forever have a very special place in my heart. RIP Dr. Meg.
  • 2015-01-28 17:10:20 | Bill Hawkins  - Devastation
    Meg, for decades, successfully battled various demons of the worst variety. I only know a bit about this, but what I know is simply terrifying. Somehow, through all of this, Meg became a topflight engineer, and, a trusted confidante of everyone involved, on subtle engineering/personnel issues at Interleaf, one of the greatest engineering companies in history. Her scientific and anthropological skills were second to none, and were leveraged by all concerned. Nevermind that Meg had a truly great sense of humor, which always lightened the emotional load of interactions at the most adept moments. I find it simply wonderful that she became a Tufts Vet. Excellence again. Meg's death is truly devastating. Life is not fair.
  • 2015-01-28 14:53:48 | Mindy Meyer  - Deepest Sympathy
    I am deeply saddened by Dr. Meg's passing. She was such a loving and companionate person. Always willing to go out of her way for her friends and four legged friends as well. I feel so fortunate to have known Dr. Meg. May the memories of her love and compation comfort the family she leaves behind.
  • 2015-01-28 14:17:06 | Tish Bachmann and Bill McCartn  - Knox
    My dog Knox had been lovingly taken care of by Dr. Meg and I will sorely miss her. I am shocked by her passing as her energetic, positive, warm loving self appeared at my door to care for Knox as recently as this fall. We extend our deepest condolences to you, her family, I often heard the joy in her heart when she spoke of her daughter. We will miss her.
  • 2015-01-28 12:55:59 | Rosalee Zammuto  - Genuine and Caring
    My family and I are deeply sadden by Meg's passing. Although I only knew her about a year and seen her only a handful of times, I felt she was a genuine and caring person. It was a blessing my Cousin Chris and she had found each other. They shared many good times. RIP, Meg.
