Valerie was an avid reader of romance and spy novels, a lover of spending time on the beaches of Jones Beach, and entertaining friends and family. She was involved with Living History Civil War reenactments and the Daughters of the American Revolution – Lancaster Chapter.
Valerie had a feisty personality, strong presence, and a big heart. She will be dearly missed.
