We are sad to announce that on July 20, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Valentine Judith Baker Portela (Marion, North Carolina). Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Valentine Judith Baker Portela to show support.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Valentine may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the echoes of her kindness, the warmth of her embrace, and the light of her enduring love.
