Valerie was a teacher at St. Lawrence O’Toole School in Brewster, as well as Bedford Village Nursery School. Teaching was more than a job to her; it was a passion and she took every opportunity she could to teach something new to her grandchildren. Valerie was an avid reader, she loved a good crossword puzzle or a game of scrabble, exploring new places, and walking on the beach.  However, her most cherished times were spent playing canasta with her grandchildren.
