Fredia Irene Randolph Obituary (1920

With her Family by her side Fredia Irene Crume Randolph passed away Tuesday evening 6/23/2020. Fredia was born 2/21/1920 in Lubbock, Texas to Pink Wesley Crume and Nora Jones Crume. She moved with her parents at age two by covered wagon to Canjilon, New Mexico where she received her primary education. She boarded with a generous woman in El Rito, New Mexico to attend High School and graduated with the class of 1940. She began work as a telephone operator with Bell Telephone in New Mexico for four years as she waited for her sisters Helen and "Dickey" to be old enough to enlist together in the U.S. Navy "Waves" in 1944. After an Honorable discharge Fredia moved to Riverside, California where she again worked for Bell Telephone as a telephone operator supervisor. She married her Childhood friend WJ Randolph on 11/8/1947 in Yuna, Arizona and they settled in Riverside, California to begin their life together. In search of work they moved to Yakima, Washington with WJs sister and brother in law Frank and Edna Stockstil in February of 1948. Fredia was blessed with her daughter Nona Shane Randolph on August 16th 1948 and put her career on hold to stay home and raise her daughter. When Nona graduated from high school Frieda got her drivers license and worked for an automotive and then Insulation Company before retiring to the farm she and WJ shared. She was a major figure in her three grandchildrens lives and lived to meet her nine great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren as well as celebrate her 100th birthday with her face on a Smuckers jam jar. She was a force to be reckoned with and if she gave you a compliment you knew it meant something as she did not hand those out aimlessly. She had the most special twinkle in her blue eyes when she was teasing you or something tickled her fancy. She has crocheted most everyone in the family a blanket and taught her granddaughter everything she knew about canning and processing the garden. You would most times find a book in her hands when there was time to sit and rest unless of course the Braves where playing ball. She will be greatly missed by her family and her memory will live on with them all. Fredia is survived by her daughter Nona Shane Randolph Lovelass/ Vern Lovelass, Her grandchildren Timothy Dean Lovelass/ Christy Lovelass, Shawnalee Lovelass Asbury/Rob Asbury, Mathew Michael Lovelass/ Kerri Lovelass, Her great grandchildren Samantha Lovelass Carroll/Rob Carrol, Trina Lovelass, Brooklyn Lovelass, Kurtis Asbury/Dawnie Bryant Asbury, Makayla Euteneier-Asbury, Mason Euteneier, Gabe Lovelass, Jennifer Lovelass, Hallie Lovelass and Her great great grandchildren Audrey Lovelass, Scarlette Euteneier.
