The family will receive friends from 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Friday evening, at the funeral home.

Valerie was born in Abington, Pennsylvania, on February 14, 1972. She was the daughter of John and Rosemarie Zomer.

Above all else, Valerie's heart belonged to her family. Her deep love for her husband, Scott, and her son, Glen, was the cornerstone of her life, and she poured her entire heart into being a devoted wife and mother. She cherished her extended family deeply and truly enjoyed family functions. She had a gift for storytelling, and her hilarious stories never failed to make everyone laugh. Because of her fun, vibrant spirit, her nieces and nephews all thought she was the absolute "cool aunt." Every gathering was filled with laughter and lasting memories.

Valerie's home was her sanctuary, and she found great joy in continually improving her surroundings, creating a beautiful and welcoming space for those she loved. That home was made complete by her adored English Bulldogs; she held a special place in her heart for her late dog, Bourbon, and found immense joy in the companionship of her newest sweet puppy, Beau.

When she wasn't perfecting her home or enjoying family time, Valerie was feeding her passion for adventure. She absolutely loved to travel, with cruising being her favorite way to see the world, embrace new experiences, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Valerie will always be remembered for her remarkably big heart. She had a rare gift for lighting up every space she entered, bringing warmth and joy to everyone around her. No matter how busy life became, Valerie always had time to stop and truly listen to her friends. She possessed a natural ability to lift their spirits, offering steady encouragement and unwavering support whenever it was needed most. Valerie's vibrant presence, endless kindness, and joyful spirit will be truly and deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Scott; her son, Glen Jeansonne, III; her stepdaughter, Amber (Steve) Biddy; her step-granddaughter, Ashley; and her dear father-in-law, George Barrineau, with whom she shared a very special fondness.

She also leaves behind her devoted siblings, John G. (Debra) Zomer, Rose (Bob) Lawless, Lori (Mike) Johnson, and Patrick (Kim) Zomer; her dear sister-in-law, Cathy Zomer (wife of her late brother, Kenneth Zomer); and her beloved cousin, Joseph (Teresa) Zomer.

Her legacy lives on through her eleven nieces and nephews, Randy Morgan, Robert Lawless, Kristen Lawhon, Erica Loa, Caroline Zomer, Jamie Anderson, Anna Zomer, Jackson Zomer, Sarah Uminn, Nicholas Zomer, and Daniel Zomer, as well as twelve great-nieces and great-nephews, along with a host of loving in-laws, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents; her sister, Diane Zomer and her brother, Kenneth Zomer.
