She was a member of the Revelstoke Art Group and did beautiful china paintings and lace draping with Doris Pryhitko. Val was active when her children were in sports and volunteered her time with the Figure Skating Club. She loved cross country skiing at the Golf Course, camping and hunting with her husband and was an avid fisherwoman. Val will be well remembered for owning Classic Touch Jewellery, she loved working in the store and being around people.


Val was predeceased by her mother in 1975 and her three faithful companions – her dogs Bailey, Cody and Mitzi.
