Randa married Jerry Farnsworth and they had two children. After divorcing when the children were small, Randa raised her two kids in the Spokane/Chewelah, Washington area. Randa always had an open heart and an open home and raised a number of other kids who were displaced. She had five grandchildren who were the love of her life. Randa died of heart failure in January 2008. She was a great sister and a kind person.

Arlene Alme (Lager) (1959)

Randa was born April 7, 1941 and passed away January 7, 2008. She called me the morning of her first day of retirement in 2005; we planned on getting together sometime in the future--I guess that just wasn't meant to be. I miss you, Randa, and all the fun we had growing up. We had some truly great times--some memorable moments--and then those we don't talk about!
