Ralland Fedorff Obituary
Shingletown, CA
Ralland "Ron" Fedorff (74) of Shingletown, CA was born June 5th, 1942 in Alameda, CA and passed away August 24th, 2016 in Redding, CA. He grew up in Lake Tahoe and spent portions of his youth in Las Vegas. Ron married the love of his life, Barbara "Barb" L. Gilbert on June 4, 1977. Together they built their life in Fremont, CA.
He mastered the art of tying knots while working in a ship yard in his youth and later put these skills to use as a truck driver in the Bay Area. He was a dedicated Teamster and had passionate views about politics. Ron had a great sense of humor, with a joke for every occasion. Later in life he shared his jokes with hundreds of people via email. No matter who you were, he could make you laugh. Ron and Barb were both avid dog lovers and cared for many strays. He loved to feed all manner of wildlife at his home in Shingletown.
Ron is survived by two sisters, Roxene Kimes and Susie Higgins, two children, daughter Marnie Strayer, son Joab (Sarah) Fedorff from a previous marriage, eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren and was cared for by his sister-in-law Willa Rose, nieces Annamarie Throm and Christina Throm as well as close friend Robyn Stone.
Ron was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara, mother Bea, father Wes, sister Penny, daughter Sharlyn, son Darren and a grandson.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday September 17th, 2016 at the Millville Grange Hall 20237 Old Forty-Four Drive, Palo Cedro, CA from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Ron's family requests that you make a donation to Mt Lassen Animal Group P.O. Box 643 Shingletown, CA 96088.

To the man that helped me not fear the dark, learn to stop leg cramps at night, how to train animals with love and consistency instead of fear and control, to learn to laugh when times get tough, and to work hard, I love you dad. You have been a great influence in so many lives. May you and Barb rest together in peace.

Ron was my Brother-in-Law and I couldn't ask for a better one. Losing Barb last year broke our hearts and left Ron missing her so much. Brought us closer and now I've lost him and it's a very big loss. But I know he's happy now being with Barb, and that's what's important. Will miss you terribly, Love You Both, Always... Willa
