ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
November 10, 2020
Kenneth Anderson was practicing for what might have
been his own death when the news arrived aboard his
Navy ship anchored at San Diego.
It was August 1945.
The United States had dropped the second atomic
bomb on Japan.
The Japanese surrendered.
World War II was over.
And Anderson, neither old enough to buy a beer nor to
cast a vote, was safe.
He was an 18-year-old motor machinist’s mate third
class.
For the previous several weeks Anderson and his ship-
mates, along with about 500 Marines, had been preparing
for the impending American invasion of Japan.
Anderson, who likely would have been assigned to a
landing craft to make sure its diesel engine kept running
to deliver the Marines to the beach, knew how dangerous
it was to be part of an amphibious assault force.

Charlotte Louise Randall,
67, wife of Curtis Randall
of Sedona,
Arizona, died
Oct. 30, 2021,
at the Banner
University
Hospital in
Phoenix, Ari-
zona, due to
Charlotte
complications
Randall
from COVID.
There will be a graveside
service for family and friends
on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 11 a.m.
at the Eagle Valley Cemetery
in Richland. There will be a
private family gathering after
the service.
Charlotte was born on
Nov. 21, 1954, in Baker City.
In 1969, her family moved to
Halfway. She graduated from
Pine-Eagle High School in
1973 and went on to earn her
associate’s degree at Treasure
Valley Community College.
On July 6, 1974, Charlotte
married Curtis Randall, her
high school sweetheart and
the love of her life. They were
blessed with three children,
Tiffany, Amber and Brad. The
Randalls lived in Richland
until 1995, when they moved
to Sisters. In 2003, they moved
to Sedona, Arizona.
Over the years, Charlotte
worked as the bookkeeper for
their family-owned business,
in Sisters she worked as an
accountant for Black Butte
Ranch and much like her
mother-in-law Shirley, was
pristine in her bookkeeping,
right down to the penny. She
also worked as a controller for
a book publishing company.
When their children were
growing up, Charlotte espe-
cially enjoyed the weekends. It
was when their family would
go skiing at Anthony Lakes
during the winter months,
and they would spend sum-
mer weekends boating on
Brownlee Reservoir. There was
always room for more with
the Randalls, and extra kids
tagging along were so welcome
and always added to the
adventures.
Curt was the love of her
life and the very depth of her
existence. She knew him bet-
ter than anyone. They fi nished
each other’s sentences and
thoughts. Curt said that when
he came home from work, no
matter what time it was, she
was there and waiting. She
always knew exactly what he
needed whether it was a meal,
a walk, hugs, talks, or quiet.
They were married 47 years
and he said he was so blessed
that she put up with his she-
nanigans all of those years and
throughout their high school
years as well.
In 2017, Charlotte under-
went a kidney transplant. Her
great-niece, Jamie Stewart,
was the donor of a kidney that
came to be fondly known as
“The Hawk,” and everyone
was so very grateful. Recovery
and rehabilitation were hard
work but Charlotte tackled it
and she was a success story.
She returned to her painting,
archeology, line dancing, play-
ing games with the grandkids,
gardening and her fl owers.
She loved fl owers though was
never absolutely sure of her
favorite. They might have been
roses or maybe something else.
When visitors came, Charlotte
enjoyed walking around her
yard with them, often followed
by Aspen, the family cat. There
was not a tree or fl ower she
could not identify.
Charlotte leaves a profound
legacy that is forever instilled
in her husband, her children,
grandchildren and her many
extended family members and
friends. It mattered greatly
to her that each of them felt
special and loved because to
Charlotte, each of them were.
Charlotte was so proud of
her kids. She was so proud
of each of her grandchildren.
She thoroughly enjoyed doing
things with them all, whether
it was together or the special
alone time she spent with each
of them. When they were at
Nana’s house, there were al-
ways surprises, stories, games
and gummy bear sandwiches
for snacks.
Traveling and going on new
adventures with Curt was one
of her greatest joys. Always
ready for a new experience,
Charlotte and Curt enjoyed
traveling abroad, exploring
the different states, camping,
hiking or visiting archeologi-
cal sites. A special highlight
for the Randalls were the two
trips they took to Italy. They
treasured the time they spent
with their niece, Story Miller,
and her husband, Enrico Piz-
zetti. Their visit was fi lled with
so much laughter, sightseeing
and getting acquainted with
Story’s Italian family. Story
said she was glad that she
got to share the wonders of
Italy with Charlotte and Curt,
not once but twice, and that
ice cream was included in
bountiful amounts, and shar-
ing the early news of Lamia
with them. They had so many
laughs with the best one being
when Curt kept tugging the
“I’ve fallen in the shower” cord!
When Charlotte and Curt
were at home, spending time
with friends, hosting neighbor-
hood gatherings and being
part of the Sedona community
was a priority.
High school friends remem-
ber Charlotte. “She did not
judge. She was so kind-hearted
and full of joy. She touched the
lives of many people. She was
always patient, always kind,
and will be missed. Our hearts
are broken for her family.”
Charlotte is survived by
her husband, Curt Randall;
her daughter, Tiffany, and
son-in-law, Cameron Watson of
Denver; her daughter, Amber
Randall of Denver; her son,
Brad, and his wife, Kijla Ran-
dall of Paulden, Arizona; her
six beautiful grandchildren,
Chloe Watson, Curtis Watson,
Emme Randall, Cy Randall,
Tripp Hardesty and Mesa
Hardesty; her mother and
father-in-law, Frank and Shir-
ley Randall of Richland; her
sisters-in-law and brothers-
in-law, Cindy and Dan Plano
of Richland, and Rebecca and
Denis Price of Ontario; her
sister-in-law, Bobbie Dalgliesh
of La Grande; and many
aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces,
nephews and countless friends.
Charlotte was preceded
in death by her parents, Paul
and Carrie Dalgliesh; and her
brothers, Clint Dalgliesh and
Burl Dalgliesh.
Charlotte was a member
of the Archeology Society of
Arizona and a member of
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Organization.

ary Bonn Benevolent Fund or

Cloverdale, California, 1951-2021
Charles Lazlo Kamondy, 69,
of Cloverdale,
California,
died Sept.
29, 2021, in
Baker City,
with his lov-
ing family by
his side.
Charles
Charles
Kamondy
was born
on Oct. 2, 1951, in Budapest,
Hungary. His parents, Karo-
line and Karoly, fl ed Hungary
during the Cold War, leaving
Charles behind with relatives
due to his young age. In 1963,
Karoline was on a game show
called “Queen For The Day” in
Los Angeles. Each contestant
was asked to talk about a
recent hard time she had been
through. Karoline told her
story of her time in Hungary
and how she had no choice but
to fl ee and leave her young son
behind. Naturally, the studio
audience felt her pain and
sorrow and sent the applause
meter soaring, an indication
that she won.
Karoline’s one wish was for
President John F. Kennedy to
release papers for Charles to
come to the United States to
be reunited with his family.
Her wish was granted, and
Charles arrived in Los Angeles
in 1963 at the age of 13. After
moving around California and
Oregon, Charles settled down
in Northern California, where
he met his life partner, Panna
Harpe. Charles worked in the
automotive business for many
years, eventually started his
own auto repair business with
his son on April 1, 2006, in
Ukiah, California.
Charles was a huge history
buff and jokester. He enjoyed
reading, biking, and spending
time with his family. Most
notable, Charles was a man
who loved Jesus and his family
fi ercely. He led by the example
of what a man of faith, hon-
esty, and integrity looks like.
Charles was always present
in a time of need and one of
his greatest joys was bless-
ing those around him. How
fortunate we all were to have
such an amazing, selfl ess, lov-
ing father and friend who was
full of wisdom and support, he
will always be our Hungarian
treasure and hero, his family
said.
Charles is survived by
daughter, Kristina (Jamie)
Pierce; his son, Charlie (Jenni-
fer) Kamondy; his stepdaugh-
ter, Renna (Edgar) Ramirez;
and six grandchildren, Trent,
Roxie, Shelbi, Casyn, Jayko
and Marina.
He was preceded in death
by his father, Charles Kamon-
dy; and his brother, Mickey
Kamondy.
