Valerie is survived by her nieces and nephew, Aaron and Maranda Hood (Braylee, Brewer and Brennen), Sandra Flores and her dad Jessie Flores of Robert Lee, Kassey and Dean Lay (JayCee) of Mertzon and Misty and Rob Ferguson (Chloe) of Hamilton, Ohio.
She had many friends and was always willing to lend a hand. She had a natural caring spirit to help others. Her son Tray was her whole world and she had an aching heart ever since she lost him in 2010.
The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Robert Lee Care Center. Many blessing to all of you who cared for her since June of 2014. She always hoped and prayed that there would be a cure one day. Please pray for a cure and for the families out there suffering with the curse of Huntington's Disease.
