She also volunteered in various capacities at Tome School where she touched many students’ hearts. The beach was one of Valerie’s favorite places to spend time and she loved going to the camper in Lewes. She also enjoyed trips to Florida and her grandmother’s cabin in Virginia, but without a doubt her favorite time was the time she spent with her family. Moving to the family farm was another highlight of her life and brought her much joy. Valerie was the hub of our family and a real whiz at planning parties for every and any event. She always added flair and surprises to the many holidays and special occasions she arranged. Everyone loved to be invited to Valerie’s parties. Valerie’s ability to execute any craft brought us all together in fun and love. In addition to caring for her family, she took in stray cats and loved and cared for various animals over the years. Her Trudë, Tilly, Kitty Girl, and Toby were her current pets. Valerie was fortunate to have lived, laughed, and loved.
