Obituary: Randy Lee Bown was born in Winterset, Iowa 30, 1956 to Alvin and Marlene (Proudfit) Bown. He was the eldest of five children. Randy was married to Anita Beth Deister , 1, 1980. Randy went to be with His Lord , 29, 2016. He is survived by his parents; siblings LuAnn, Rusty, Kurt and Alannah; his wife and their daughter, Ariel; her spouse, Amon-Raa Valencia; and his grandsons Evren and Arion. He was also loved by countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.


Randy grew up on a farm until junior high when his parents moved to town. He attended Graceland and earned an English Degree. Years after college he found that he loved teaching English and did so up until the week of his passing. His last student was studying with him via Skype having begun as a student during Randy's stint in Thailand. Randy's first year of marriage was spent in Joplin, MO. He had been sent out as an evangelist by the Nixa Church of Christ. Due to undiagnosed health problems that year, he and his wife moved to Bakersfield to be closer to an Endocrinologist who was able to help Randy. Randy and Anita were richly blessed by attending a congregation of the church of Christ in Bakersfield, CA for 11 years. During those years, Randy worked as an eligibility worker for Kern , also as a jail intake person and a fingerprint specialist and as a postman. With a yearning for travel, he and his family set off in of 1994, on a two year cross country trip exploring states coast to coast through Anita's nursing job. Later he took his travel world wide using his travel benefits from his job with America West Airlines and then moved to Thailand on his own for an English teaching job. For the last few years of his life in Thailand, he suffered with a seizure disorder and was brought back to life once before by strangers at a train station. This event caused him to reevaluate his choices. He sought out the Church of Christ in Bangkok and returned to worshiping the God of Heaven whom he had neglected. He returned in 2014 and settled back into life with Anita, with visits from his daughter and grandsons. He spent most of his time here, when not at doctor visits, corresponding with friends and family and was famous for being the first to like facebook posts. Despite his numerous health issues, his death came as a surprise to all who cared for him.

The third of four sisters, she graduated from UCLA in 1949 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and a California Teaching Credential. She had interspersed her studies with employment, including supporting the World War II effort by working for the U.S. Navy.

It was at UCLA where she met Finley J.

Betty always said that this family was her greatest achievement in life, and she was married 47+ years until Finleys passing in 1998.

Always a positive thinker and an innovator, Betty was responsible for founding several organizations in Riverside -- an alumnae chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon (music sorority) in 1964, Riverside Inter-Church Christian Educators in 1973, Inland Empire Armenian Club in 1992, and www.come (witty widows and widowers) at First Congregational church. She was almost single-handedly responsible for bringing Riverside its first Armenian Apostolic Church, established in 2004, calling this her dream come true. She served on its parish council for the first four years.

Bettys ability to learn and grow at any age was an inspiration to all around her. In her 50s she learned sign language and began substitute teaching at California School for the Deaf. At age 60 she studied ballet and jazz at Riverside Community . At 70 she played in the Riverside Flute Choir. At 76 she went up in a hot air balloon.
