Valerie was a former cashier at the Cantonment Winn Dixie Market Place.

Those of you that were fortunate to grace her table know that she was an excellent cook. Her talents weren’t just in the kitchen either. Those caring and nurturing ways were extended to being the ultimate green-thumb lady. She would organize and plant flower gardens for her many friends or help them nurse neglected plants back to life. She especially enjoyed gardening with her special friend and neighbor, Norma Rush.
