Her family then moved to Calgary for several years, but returned to Winnipeg where she lived until her passing. Over the past three or four years she had to endure many health problems, which deprived her of many pleasures but did not take away her spirit. Valerie enjoyed spending time with friends and enjoyed giving of herself to help in any way that she could. In the past couple of years she enjoyed playing bingo and socializing whenever she had the opportunity.

Interment will follow at the St. Peters Anglican Cemetery. Im Free Dont grieve for me, for now Im free, Im following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My lifes been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. Arrangements Entrusted To: ANDERSON FAMILY FUNERAL HOME Ashern, Manitoba 1-204-768-3606
