that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible
courage and compassion, never once complaining. She was a true inspiration who
lived life to the fullest—and what a magnificent life it was. The world feels
less beautiful without her in it.”
Souther continued, “Please consider donating, sharing, and
helping spread the word for her funeral GoFundMe. Her final wish is to be laid
to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery, but after more than 15 years of fighting
Parkinson’s, her finances are exhausted. Let’s come together to make her last
wish a reality—she truly deserves it.”
Souther shared a GoFundMe link for her burial.
