It is with heavy hearts that we share Valerie’s passing on April 9th, 2026, after a sudden unexpected health event, surrounded by her family and close friends. Valerie’s greatest joy was her family. She adored her husband Andrew, with whom she shared 31 years of marriage, and her two children, Mallory and Austin. Valerie was a beacon of light in our lives. Her compassion knew no bounds, and she had an incredible gift for making everyone feel special and cherished. She was not just a mother, daughter, wife, and friend, but a confidante and a source of strength. Her faith in God, and belief in the power of love was unshakeable, and she was always striving to uplift those around her. She was a creative and thoughtful soul who loved making handmade cards, scrapbooks, and many other crafts and sharing them with those she loved. Funds raised will go towards helping the family cover funeral expenses and a celebration of life gathering to be held at a later date. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Your support means so much to the family as they navigate this loss.
