Valarie was a Christian woman and attended several churches. She became an ordained minister at A Deeper Life Christian Church. One of her favorite scriptures was 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says, “if my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Valarie loved spending time with all of her grandchildren, she enjoyed spending time in nature feeding ducks, fishing, and the beach. She loved fashion and dressing up for any occasion.
