Jeffrey Robert Fitz-Randolph died March 6, 2025 after a fall. He had severe heart disease and increasing memory loss. His last conscious act was making sure his car was clear of light snow, something he loved to do.
Jeffrey was born July 6, 1942, in Piscataway, NJ. He graduated from Rutgers University and earned a master’s degree from Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, PA. He was the director of several sheltered workshops in New York and Pennsylvania before moving to Fairfield in 1986.
Here, Jeff managed Iowa Computer and worked as a computer and website consultant until retirement, while volunteering in several local and state organizations.
He was a member of The Fairfield Historical Society; founding member of The Jefferson County Trails Council as well as The Fairfield Cultural Alliance.
Jeff served as Jefferson County Representative to The Iowa Barn Foundation and also volunteered at the local Maasdam Barns.
Jeff is survived by his family: wife Jacqueline Signori; beloved daughters Heather (Chris Plankey) Fitz-Randolph of Falls Church, VA, and Kristen Fitz-Randolph of Concord, NH; brothers, David (Penny) and Tim (Meg) Fitz-Randolph of Fairfield; sister, Pam Klesse of Port Crane, NY; and five nieces.
An informal celebration of Jeffrey’s life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to any of the organizations listed above in which Jeffrey served. Behner Funeral Home in Fairfield is assisting the family.
