The world became brighter on March 5, 1978, the day that Valerie Inez Swanson was born. Valerie sadly passed on March 6, 2023, after a long and happy life.

Valerie was a devoted wife and mother who loved unconditionally, who would stop and help whoever was in need, as well putting the family’s needs ahead of her own. Valerie loved candles especially the Strawberry Poundcake scent and would make certain that whoever came to her home had to smell the candles. She always was hospitable when you come to visit, she made sure to offer something to eat or drink. Valerie never rested until she knew her family was taken care of as only a mother could and she will be sorely missed.

Valerie is proceeded in death by her mother Mammy White, uncle Daniel Whitsett and Son Michael.

Left to cherish her life and memory is her husband, Mark Swanson, son, Anthony Swanson, daughter, Ariel Swanson, son, Austin Swanson, son Aden Swanson; sisters, Angie White and Carrie Pollard and numerous nieces, nephews and other loving family members.
