Valerie F. Feury

years old.

Val, as she was known by friends and family, was born on January 6, 1944

in Allentown, PA to Francis “Frank” Bennett and Margaret (Kaufman)

Bennett. She attended Englewood Hospital School of Nursing (RN) and

Fairleigh Dickinson University (BS in Nursing). She worked as a

Registered Nurse at Englewood Hospital in New Jersey.

She married Kevin C. Feury in August of 1966. Her maid of honor was her

best friend Molly (Blackledge) Gallo from nursing school, a friendship she

maintained the rest of her life. As the Feury family grew, Val retired from

nursing to become a full-time mother and homemaker.

Valerie was an active parishioner at St. Joseph's Church in Cockeysville,

MD where she was heavily involved in Social Ministry programs. For many

years she hosted the Family Mass and organized the collection of food and

clothing for several charitable agencies through the Church Advent

Outreach. She also co-chaired the Our Daily Bread ministry for nearly 25

years, tirelessly coordinating the monthly collection and delivery of food to

those less fortunate.

She was a devoted mother and proud grandmother, fiercely loyal to those

she loved. Valerie enjoyed spending time at the beach, and had a

penchant for most seafood. She liked to play cards and was a long-time

member of the Ramsgate Bridge Club. Later in life she played many games

of rummy and Scrabble with family members. She loved animals and often

extolled their virtues. Val liked listening to folk music, especially Peter,

Paul and Mary. She closely followed Baltimore sports as a fan of both the

Orioles and Ravens. Val enjoyed traveling with her husband and explored

Europe, Mexico and Canada with him in addition to countless trips to

Colonial Williamsburg.

She is survived by her husband Kevin Feury (Cockeysville, MD); brother

George Bennett (Myrtle Beach, SC); daughters Patricia Feury (Flagstaff,

AZ) and Karen Grier (East Berlin, PA); son Brendan Feury (White Marsh,

MD) and grandchildren Owen and Reagan Feury.

The family will receive friends at the Lemmon Funeral Home of Dulaney Valley, Inc., 10 W. Padonia Road (at York Road) Timonium, Maryland 21093 on Friday, February 15, 2019 from 6 to 8pm.

to Our Daily Bread, 320 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.
