In Memory

2/24/71 - 6/12/92

Val was an adored daughter, sister and friend. She is survived by her mother Dianne Young and siblings John, Donald and Maureen.

She left this world to soon joining her father, John Bratton Young in heaven. Val’s name lives on with her nephew Bratton Val Young (son of John and Kim Young). His brothers Patrick and Tristan think that’s pretty special and enjoy hearing memories of their aunt who will never be forgotten. 

Being an organ donor was something Valerie decided was important while renewing her license, a conversation she had with her mother months before her death. Her selfless decision to do so gave 2 people a better life by receiving her kidneys.

Her infectious laugh and unforgettable dimpled smile would light up a room. Her generous heart and incredible spirit was one of a kind.

You are truly missed and I think about you and your family often. I am so lucky to have known you and have so many happy memories!

When I think of Val, I think of one of the highs and lows of fledgling teenage girls. I spent many weekday nights sleeping over at Val's at her mother was out of town and my dad didn't mind me sleeping over on weeknights like most parents did (and should have!) We goofed off and ate potato chips with BBQ sauce and jumped on her water bed. On the weekend, there were many hijinks with the large group of girls and guys that made up our circle. I hope her life continued to be full after we lost touch in late high school. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her untimely death.
