Val turned 82 years of age on 08th February 2021, sadly just a nudge over 2 weeks later she passed away peacefully in her sleep after a short illness on the 22nd February 2021, that very same day her 15th Great Grandchild a Granddaughter was born just a few short hours later, proving the circle of life continues.
