Valerie was an avid reader; she especially loved to read books by Nora Roberts. When she was not going on a literary adventure she would cheer on the Mountaineers or the Pittsburg Steelers! Valerie loved collecting teddy bears and taking care of her pet turtles. She was very loving, giving, and a kind hearted person who would sacrifice her self to help others.

The family will have a celebration of her life at a later day. Arrangements entrusted to Long & Fisher Funeral Home.
