Randall Polley Obituary

Randall "Randy" Alan Polley (age 78) entered into rest on June 13, 2025 at his home in Custer, WA surrounded by his family. Randy was born on September 4, 1946 in South Bend, Indiana to Richard F. and Betty J. "Perry" Polley. He attended and graduated from Mishawaka High School in Mishawaka, Indiana. Randy moved from Indiana as a young adult to the Pacific Northwest. Randy married the love of his life, Cynthia "Cindy" (Fernandes) on August 3, 1984 in Custer, WA, and celebrated 40 years together last August. During his working career, Randy was a long-haul truck driver and worked for Lynden Transport Inc. for 34 years. He was a proud member of the Teamsters union. Randy retired in 2008 to care for his aging parents. In 2012, he opened a small business, Peace Arch Business Center, in Blaine, WA. He was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, The Mountaineers, and a former member of Toastmasters. In his free time, Randy had many hobbies which included hiking, car racing, talking politics and history. He loved working on the landscaping in his yard. He especially loved the pond and walking trail he built in his back yard. Randy was a very intelligent and hardworking person. Always friendly, kind and joyful to everyone he met. His most notable traits are his resilience, determination, and most of all his integrity. He was an amazing man that will be missed by many. He is survived by his wife, Cynthia of Custer, WA; son, Jeffrey Polley and wife Christine Polley of San Tan Valley, AZ; daughters, Brenda Polley of Blaine, WA, Stephanie Polley of Custer, WA; and Kristen Brune and husband Ian Brune of East Wenatchee, WA; Cousin (but truly more of a Big Sister) Donna Grisanti and husband Bud Grisanti of Clayton, CA; six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Randy was preceded in death by his parents, and brother John Polley. A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, July 19th, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Jerns Funeral Home 4131 Hannegan Rd Suite 106, Bellingham, WA 98226.

Randy was a kind and wonderful man! I met him when I was employed at a Birch Bay business and always enjoyed chatting with him. He always had a smile to share! I know he will be missed by many. I am sorry for the family and friends and their loss!
