Christina Randall Obituary
She will be greatly missed by her friends and family. Those closest to her caller her "Geega" nick named by her youngest sister. Christina deeply cared about people. A diligent, adventurous and hard working person, she set out to do and experience all she could fit into living life and helping others.
Christina received her bachelor's degree in Natural Resources Management from Colorado State University. She served as Wildfire Mitigation Administrator for the Colorado Springs Fire Department, spending over 33 years in the fire service. During 19 years with the US Forest Service, Christina served on hotshots, engines, fuels management, timber harvest inspector and battalion chief. During her 14 years with CSFD, she oversaw the wildfire mitigation program including risk assessment, fuels management; grant management, education/outreach and development review. She served on both the International Association of Fire Chiefs Wildland Fire Policy Committee and the National Wildfire Urban Interface Mitigation Committee.
Christina received numerous awards from both organizations, solidifying her contributions and the success of her efforts to preserve our natural resources and the safety of communities across the nation from wildfire.
Christina married David Mann on April 3, 2001 in Susanville, California. They were the perfect match. Christina had an appreciation of Native American art and a profound reverence for the Native American people and culture. Her respect of life and nature drew her to caring for many animals by rescuing, adopting and supporting animals in need, often ending up with a houseful of dogs whom brought her great joy. She played the piano and loved the desert in all its colorful splendor. Christina was compassionate and generous. She lifted others up when in need and would go to great lengths to take care of her family, friends and co-workers. Intelligent, funny, brave, and kind, Christina impacted people and the world around her by her actions and made it better.
Survived by her husband David Mann, her mother Helga Randall, step-father Les Jergens, sister Patricia Keene, sister Nada Baker. Her father Henry Randall precedes her in death.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, April 2, at 1:00 P.M. at the Colorado Springs Masonic Center, 1150 Panorama Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80904
In lieu of flowers, please know that Christina dedicated a good portion of her life to Wildfire Mitigation. Honor her service by supporting the Colorado Springs Fire Department's Wildfire Mitigation Program.

I was greatly saddened and shocked when I learned of Christina's passing. When Chris came to the district as District Fire Management Officer we were in the process of strengthening the fire management organization. We could not have had a better person to fill that role. Her work ethic and leadership were outstanding. I was very sad when she chose to leave for the job with Colorado Springs Fire Department but knew they were getting a topnotch person to lead their fire mitigation program. Sadly, when this all happened we just departing for a ten-day vacation in Arizona. Had we been home I would have been at the memorial service this past Sunday. Christina is gone much too soon.

Dave, Patty and Helga,
In our banters, over the 14 years we were friends, Christina (or Crandall as I mostly called her) often referred to each other as "sistas" - and I truly considered her much more than just a workplace friend!
I'll always be able to close my eyes and hear her laugh - it was contagious and carried a hearty tone of joy every time she shared it with those that knew her. She blessed me with countless memories and adventures that I'll carry with me forever. I hope my heart can grow to be as loving and kind as hers was.
From working in the "field" with residents, to traveling with Bill Mills and Brett Lacey on conference road trips, or spending two-weeks at the National Fire Academy in Maryland together, where we regularly visited the local thrift stores at lunch time for her to find treasures, to going to Philly and Gettysburg, or just giving each other the "glance" during staff meetings over the years - those times we spent together are cherished and will be in my heart forever.
Hugs and love to each of you and your entire family!
There's no doubt in my mind that she's spending her days walking the dogs in spectacular desert settings and admiring the most beautiful artwork she's ever seen each day, while having time to play the piano.
With love to you all, her "sista" Cathy Prudhomme

Mere words can't capture the spirit, generosity, warmth, dedication, humor, and so much more that was Christina. We are all very lucky to have known, loved, and worked with her. I hope her virtues live on in us all.
