Val my pal you will forever be in my heart. How glad I am that I had you in my life even if it wasn't for very long. I remember one time when we worked at CAT she overheard my boss yelling at me on the phone. The next time I went to St Helens for a meeting she met me outside the building with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, simply because she thought I needed them. She always had a kind word, a smile or something to laugh at. I asked her one time if I got her a red nose and some clown shoes would she wear them to work? Absolutely she said!. I just know you are in Heaven with your "boss" God and you're wearing your clown shoes. I will love you forever Val my pal

Val, I miss you and your laugh! I will always remember the fun times of travel, women’s retreats, wine tasting, going to the movies and just general mischief we would get into! Your love for Jesus and wanting others to know Him like you did was a great example for all of us. Our shared memories will always brighten my days till we see each other again in Heaven with our Lord! 💜💜💜

I was so happy to have Valerie as a friend. You could always share what was on your heart with her, and she would always lift your spirit. Our sons were the same age and attended scouts and church together. We spent many hours together through those times and laughed and bragged about our sons, and laughed and cried over them. She loved Matt so much and was very proud of him in all he did. And then when she found out about her first grandson coming she was over the moon at the thought of being a grandma. She and Nate are a grand example of a Godly marriage, love without judgement. Nate you supported. Valerie through many rough times but you were always by her side supporting her, thank you for taking care of my Val pal, which many friends called her. Valerie keep them laughing in Heaven until we join you someday, I’ll miss you till then.

Love, The Entire Ellett Family.

When we first met and were at the Yaquina Head lighthouse we held hands and never let go.
The 46 years that followed was wonderful with some trials. But God always lifted us out. He gave you great healing many times.
We were blessed with a good son who with his wife gave us 2 grandsons. What an awesome Godly gift.
You were an advocate for Jesus in all you did. You praised him publicly and told everyone his Love for us. You impacted so many with God's word.
Valerie you called to me, Nate Nate I'm scared. Take me home.
I took your hand while I brushed your hair. I felt I had failed you.
You were so sick and unknowing I was there.
But Asleep as you were a smile on your face. I was certain that Jesus was near.
As time drew near and I watched you breathe your last. I knew that I had not failed you for the light on your face radiant. Jesus took your hand.
Valerie I Love you so much, I miss our times together. I will try to stay the course so I can see you again. I will praise God for his gift of you. I will stay in the word of God and worship always, To Love God first, then to Love all.
Your Husband Nathan , Till we meet again.

Valerie was always the life of the party and you couldn’t help but laugh when you spent time with her. She faced the good and bad in life with humor. She loved Jesus and wasn’t shy about telling others about him and what he had to offer. One memory I had a few years back was stopping in Astoria at the river where the old pilings are. We were on our way back from a women’s church retreat. We wrote things on a rock that we wanted to let go of and give to God, we chucked those rocks as far as we could into the Columbia River. She will always be my Val Pal and until I see you in Heaven again I will miss you greatly. Spunky, spicy and sweet!
