Val was well known for her big smile and warm heart. She loved her family fiercely. Many would say she was the strongest and most stubborn woman they know.
Her close family is gathering privately per her wishes to celebrate her life and love.
In leu of flowers or donations, we ask that you take a moment to hug your child, grandchild, loved one, or friend or walk in the woods/wildflowers for a moment, an hour or a day. Time waits for no one.
I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to get to know Val, but know what a wonderful person my daughter-in-law, Brandi, is. Val must have been a great Mom to have raised such a loving daughter. I’m so sorry for all that your family is going through,... moreI’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to get to know Val, but know what a wonderful person my daughter-in-law, Brandi, is.

I’m sure going to miss her smile and hugs. Every time I seen her she had a smile and a big hug for me. We sure had lots of fun in school together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I can still hear Carol say, "Now, Valorie Ann..."
I'm sure the first words Val heard when she crossed over were from her Mama calling her lovingly home.
I treasure all those days of fun and laughter playing at Grandma and Grandpa's from dawn... moreI can still hear Carol say, "Now, Valorie Ann..."

I treasure all those days of fun and laughter playing at Grandma and Grandpa's from dawn til dusk. Bonds were formed and memories made that have carried us through life with the knowledge that home is not only where your heart is but also who holds your heart. Family. This family will not be the same without those snapping eyes, sparkling wit, and beautiful smile.
We love you Val. You will be so missed. Until we meet again. less
