Valerie was a naturally skilled and multi-talented woman. Everything from cooking to baking, to gardening, and bringing people together. Well known for being an excellent hostess for every holiday, she was the mastermind behind neighborhood easter egg hunts, leading Christmas carols, and the infamous “Pierce Haunt”. A true baking artist of crafting delicious wedding cakes, birthday cakes, holiday pies, and her specialty, making and canning her own habanero jelly. A very colorful, vibrant, full-of-life, and love type of woman, Valerie will be deeply missed but never forgotten by all the hearts she has touched.
