Loving Mother of Five
Val was the loving mother of Hugh, Alan, Bryan, Sharon, and the late Margaret and Beverley. She raised her family with devotion and warmth, and the loss of two of her children before her own passing speaks to a life that knew both profound love and profound grief.
For the children she leaves behind, Val was their constant, and her absence leaves a space that nothing else can fill.
A Devoted Mother and Proud Nan
As nan to all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Val held a role she wore with unmistakable pride. She was equally cherished as a sister to the late Joan and Raymond, bonds of family that shaped her life from beginning to end.
She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her, a phrase used in her obituary that, for Val, covers a great many people across Swansea.
