She loved the home life, especially cooking food for family and friends. She enjoyed watching movies and hanging out with her grandchildren. Valerie was a devoted mother, daughter, grandmother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Valerie was my niece. I had just gotten to know her much better in the last 4 years after the loss of my father Odell Wallace senior. Her father Odell Wallace Jr and I remain extremely close. I just wish that I could have gotten to know her better. But I am confident knowing that she is in a better place and no longer suffering.
