Dr. Randall A. "Randy" Frey, 69, of Millersville, passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2026. He was the husband of Paula F. Alden Frey with whom he celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary on August 16, 2025. Randy was born in Lancaster, son of the late Emerson C. and M. May Fisher Frey.
Randy was a graduate of Penn Manor High School, Class of 1974, Messiah College, Class of 1978 and the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Class of 1984. He was a member of Refton Brethren in Christ Church where he faithfully served on various committees. Randy was co-owner of Covenant Veterinary Care in Marietta, until his retirement in 2023.
Randy will be remembered for his dedication to his faith, his family, and his field of study. His faith ran deep, and he was committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus while serving on the church board and ministering as a deacon. He worshipped in song through church choirs, the Lancaster Chorale, and hearty singing from the pew.
Randy’s devotion to his family could be seen in how he showed up in whatever way was needed—a listening ear, a helping hand, an impassioned prayer. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren in sharing his interests and learning about theirs.
His field of study in veterinary medicine highlighted Randy’s compassionate and thoughtful nature. He strove to make everyone feel at ease and welcome from patients and their owners to his colleagues and peers. He truly enjoyed consulting to solve even the most challenging of cases.
Randy lived a life of example that will be greatly missed, but we rejoice in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father!
