Valerie was an Accounts Payable Manager for Eureka Services, prior to that at Equitrans Midstream and Spark Energy. She was a fun-loving mother who had a passion for all animals, she especially loved her animals. She loved traveling and trying new foods. Valerie had a creative and very giving spirit; she loved making Diaper Cakes for others, and one of her greatest joys was putting together care packages and sending them to our soldiers overseas.
