She was a devoted wife and mother to John and Jared. Valerie enjoyed cooking and feeding the ones she loved with special occasion meals as well as everyday meals. When she wasn’t cooking she was enjoying her hobby of learning about antiques and collectibles, always
on the hunt for rare artifacts of recent history.
A private celebration of Valerie’s life will be held at a family reunion in Oregon.
