Valerie married her lifetime partner, Lynn Miller, in 1986. Valerie loved decorating her home and together with Lynn provided a loving and safe place for their four boys. She was their biggest cheerleader in all their accomplishments from childhood to adulthood and was the proudest mom. She welcomed her daughters-in-law with open arms and loved them dearly. Valerie’s treasures were her grandchildren and great-grandchild. She loved creating memories with them of pumpkin carving, cookie baking, and creating crafts. Her happiest moments were family gatherings making “happy”tizers. Valerie enjoyed time with her friends and sisters crafting, playing cards, and going to the beach.

She will be remembered by all for her beautiful smile, loving personality, contagious laugh, and generosity.

The Miller family wishes compassion and peace to all cancer patients and their families.
