Utah Democrats mourn loss of Weber County Treasurer

Utah Democrats offer their condolences to the Post family on the passing of Randell Post and her husband Doug. Both were killed in a tragic automobile accident on August 21st. Randell was recently elected as Treasurer of the Weber County Democratic Party. Her family reminded mourners to "vote for a Democrat" in lieu of flowers in her obituary. The entire Post family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Randell Sue Furnis
Born in Westwood, California on Sep. 10, 1949
Departed on Aug. 21, 2007 and resided in Plain City, UT.

Randell Sue Furniss Post passed away on August 21, 2007 after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. She died next to her loving husband, Doug. She was born on September 10, 1949 in Westwood, California to Fred and Mary Furniss, the youngest of five daughters.

She grew up in Ogden and graduated from Bonneville High school. She spent some time attending Weber State Collage, but she would say most of that time was spent sleeping on the campus benches. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh. She married J. Douglas Post on May 14, 1970 in the Logan temple.

Randy held several part time jobs throughout the years, but her life’s work was to be a mother, she raised 8 children, of whom she was very proud. Every one of her children would say she was their best friend. She instilled in them a belief that they could do anything. She also had a role in raising several neighborhood kids as well as various girlfriends and boyfriends along the way. She accepted everyone she net and was a friend to all. Many hearts are broken at her passing. Randy, like her mother before her, loved to cook. No one could make things taste quite like mom. Like everything else though, food was a tool to bring her family together.

She was politically active throughout her life, and everyone she met knew; she was a Democrat. She was an intellectual who relished staying up late discussing political issues with her family.

As an active member of the LDS church, she was a student of the gospel and loved teaching it. Members of her seminary and gospel doctrine classes were blessed by her perspective and understanding.

She is survived by her four adorning sisters: Kay Tiner, Diann Ellis, Vicki Jackson, and Penny Phillips.

She is also survived by his children, Zach (Lori), Zeke (Rachel), Rael (Shelly), Jordan (Paul), Samantha (Andrew), Eli (Melissa), Simon (Alyssa) and Tony, as well as 11 grandchildren. She was happiest when she was with her children and grandchildren.

They are her legacy and the only one she ever wanted.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Mary.

In lieu of flowers, vote for a Democrat.
