Obituary of VALERIE HILL

VALERIE HILL

July 22, 1947 - August 1, 2018

It is with profound sadness, sorrow and loss that we announce the transition of Valerie Hill (nee Vally Wells). She had heart surgery at the Asper center and most recently spent much time under care at Victoria General Hospital. 

She was a very loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and will be extremely missed by her daughter Tara (Terry Haluik) and her two precious, granddaughters Hannah and Ariana with whom she resided; her son Cory (Cheryl) grandson Jordan (Lara), great grandchildren Dominic, Xavier and Madeline; son Steven (Hali) and their children. She will also, be terribly missed by her best friend Lynne MacDonald of Edmonton and our dear Monica (Olga) Harder. Her passing will also be naturally missed by her sister Darlene (Louis Fisette) as well as numerous nephews and their wives and her many cousins from both sides of her family and uncle from her mother’s side and two aunts from her stepfather’s side. 

She was predeceased by her loving mother Irene Toole and stepfather Bernard Toole and sister Olive Handoga and brother-in-law Marion Handoga. 

Valerie had a distinguished career of over 40 years as a nurse and was active in the nursing community she was also active in the Scandinavian Center being a very proud Norwegian and was a district commissioner in Girl Guides of Canada. 

Our heartfelt thanks go out to Deborah Hinds, Christine Koves, and Lynne MacDonald for their support and love during this very difficult time. 

A memorial service will be held at St. Luke’s Anglican Church, 130 Nassau Street N. on Tuesday, August 28 at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

In lieu of flowers, donations made in her memory will be appreciated to Balmoral Hall School or St. Mary's Academy.
