Sydney
It is with heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Valerie Rose (Green) Andrea on Monday, March 25, 2019, at home in Sydney.
Born in Sydney on March 21, 1955, Valerie was the daughter of the late Roy and Katie Green.
Valerie loved life to the fullest and this was evident by the quality time she spent with family and friends. Eric was the love of her life and her children meant the world to her. Her kind and generous ways overflowed onto those around her. This brought much love and joy to her heart. Giving to others made Valerie the happiest.
Valerie was employed at the Membertou Day Care Centre, her dream job. Working with children was something she cherished, and she will be dearly missed by her co-workers as well as her “Day Care Children”.
Valerie was a member of the former Trinity United Church in Whitney Pier and now the United Heritage Church.
Valerie is survived by her loving husband and best friend, Eric; sons, Jonathan (Shandar), Desmond, Mikida (Alicia); special ‘daughter’, Temika; grandchildren, Warren, Logan, Audrey and Callysta; siblings, Patsy (Whitney) Meade, Debbie (George) Green, Kenny (Betty), Gary, Karen (Gary) MacIver, Benjie (Judy), Marie, Adam (Laurel), Lorne (Stacey) and John; father-in-law, Dan Andrea; in-laws, Karen (Chris) Crocker, Kevin (Denise) Donnie (Bev), Gary (Sacha) and Janice Corbett as well as many nieces, nephews and several godchildren.
