In loving memory of Valerie Bourne who sadly passed away on 11th January 2018

It’s a sad time for all who have had contact with mum, she was a wonderful caring woman, who even as Alziehmers took its grip on her, would still brandish a glowing smile. For those who truly knew her remember her as a wonderful mum, wife, sister, cousin, Nan & friend!
I always associate her as a dinner lady at Newhall infant school where she worked for as long as I can remember!
We as her children are always thankful for help she gave & always remember Christmas time as a time she & dad did all they could to make it magical!
She was always somebody you could go too for advice & she would often give you a wink & a smile to cheer you up. If we ever thought we knew it all growing up, she would remind us that “she had been on this earth longer than we had” & that made her more knowledgable.
She was a big Cliff Richard fan & we have memories of her sitting in her arm chair tapping her feet & singing along. Talking of her armchair, always in the corner of the front room, surrounded by knitting patterns, needles, wool, glasses & the latest littlewoods catalogue!
When she became a Nan for the first time she was truly in her eliment as she grew a close relationship to Charlotte, Videos of them 2 splashing in a paddling pool are a warm reminder of what a wonderful woman we have lost.
I’m sure you too have memories of her & we’d enjoy reading some of them if you want to share.
Gone but not forgotten, you touched so many lives. We love you mum, always xxx

To the most amazing mum I could have possibly wished for. You were always there for me when i needed a shoulder, I am everything I am because you loved me. I always remember the laughs we would have as you sat playing bamboozle on sky. You never could get it right could you? I love you and will miss you now and forever❤️❤️❤️
