Valentine Lydia Molina

Valentine Molina, “Val,” passed away on February 26, 2026, after a long journey with dementia. Born on February 14, 1933, she was blessed with 93 Valentine’s Days. In her final years, she was supported by her granddaughter, Gianna, and wonderful caregivers before being called Home.

Val will always be remembered for the love and joy she brought to every occasion. She carried love effortlessly, and friends, family, and even those who had just met her felt the warmth she radiated. Her life was filled with laughter, kindness, and a generosity that touched everyone around her.

Val had a big heart and an even stronger will. She cherished her ranch and took great pride in everything that grew and thrived there. The ranch was more than just a home; it was a place cherished and where memories were made, from making tamales with family to standing proudly beside her husband, Albert, supporting his many endeavors.

Valentine was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Joe, Phillip, Robert, Ralph, Alex, Julia, along with her beloved husband Albert, and her daughter Valentina.

She is survived by her sisters Antonia and Margaret, her brother Ernesto, her granddaughter Gianna, and numerous nieces and nephews who will continue to carry her love and memory forward.

Val will be remembered not only for the life she lived, but for the joy she brought into the lives of others. Her warmth, laughter, and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

A graveside service for Valentine will be held at St. Peters Cemetery on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 10:30 a.m.
