In Loving Memory of
VALERIE FRIESEN
December 22, 1951 – May 25, 2026
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Valerie Friesen.
Valerie was a woman of incredible strength, determination, and resilience. Throughout her life she faced challenges with courage and always did things her own way. She loved deeply, cared fiercely for her family, and left an impression on everyone who knew her.
Above all else, Valerie loved her family. A proud Mother of Karen-Lynn (Jerrett), Mark (Christa) and Crystal; and Grandmother to Jesse (Vanessa), Mariah (Alex), Walker, Owen and Colby; Great Grandmother to Jocelyn, Hunter, and Nash. Her presence will be missed more than words can express. Her family was the center of her world, and the memories she created with those she loved will be treasured forever.
Valerie had a sharp sense of humor, a strong spirit, and a determination that carried her through life's ups and downs. Even during difficult times, she continued to show the strength that defined her.
As we say goodbye, we take comfort in knowing that her suffering has ended and that she is finally at peace. Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the time we shared with her, the lessons she taught us, and the love she gave us.
She leaves behind a family who loved her dearly and who will carry her memory forward every day.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
"Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard,
but always there.”

The infamous "babing suit, fur coat and stilettos" photo of Mom was taken on her 40th birthday.
She sang Puff The Magic Dragon to me countless times as a child, and long before that, she sang to crowds with her band.
Her talents were vast, and nothing could compare to the comfort of Mom's homemade soup, the slippers, mittens and scarfs she knitted with love, nor her ability to fix absolutely anything! She was tenacious, witty, and a bit wild. 💞
Thank you for giving me my big loud laugh, my strong spirit, and my tender heart. I love you forever, Mom. XOXOX
