Getting your Trinity Audio player ready ...








Randy returned to her heavenly home on June 19, 2024, at the age of 77, after a valiant battle with dementia. She was born on December 24, 1946, to Milford and Greta Christensen in Blackfoot, Idaho, where she resided during her childhood.

Randy married Bud Anderson at the age of 18 and together they had five children. Their lives later took separate paths, but Randy maintained her devotion to family throughout and filled her life with flourishing friendships.

After raising her children, Randy developed an interest in naturopathic medicine specializing in iridology and treatment with herbs. She quickly grew an extensive following and deeply influenced the lives of those who sought care from her. She had a unique ability to connect with every person that she crossed paths with.

Aside from her professional accomplishments, Randy was widely known for her many talents and her bright, youthful spirit. She was an incredible pianist, actively participated in the church choir, and had a passion for dance. She took great pride in her home and loved cooking, decorating, and nurturing her yard. Complimenting her passion for holistic health, she enjoyed the practice of Feng Shui and incorporated this into her life and the lives of those around her. Randy was perceived as a pillar of strength for her family and friends and exuded authenticity in every aspect of her life.

She is preceded in death by her parents Gretta Allred and Milford Wayne Christensen.

She is survived by her brothers, Terry Christensen, Kim (Nancy) Christensen, and Bart (Mahlora) Christensen; her children, Miles (Tresa) Anderson, Shawn (Melanie) Anderson, Kyle (Traci) Anderson, Amanda (Virgil) Schmitt, and Mace (Julie) Anderson; 16 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren; 1 niece and 3 nephews.

A graveside service for family and friends will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Fielding Memorial Park Cemetery, followed by a public celebration of life at the Brickyard Event Center from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

The family would like to extend gratitude to Lincoln Court and Hands of Hope Hospice for offering compassion and support throughout Randy’s end of life care.
