Valerie treasured her children and grandchildren and embraced every moment with them. She enjoyed following all their activities and was one of their biggest supporters.

Her love for water carried over into her collection of snowmen. Playing cards was a favorite past time, especially with her friends at Christmas Club. Valerie enjoyed watching football, she was an avid Denver Broncos fan. She will be greatly missed by friends and family.
