Valerie Mooney was born to her loving parents, Art & Sallie Scales, on March 15, 1953 in Fort Worth, Texas. As a child, her and her brother Timothy Lane traveled the world as Air Force children. Shortly after she moved to Nacogdoches with her parents she worked at International Paper Company.

After having her kids, she went to work at Nacogdoches Medical Center and held different positions. It was at NMC that she met many lifelong friends. After an injury leaving her unable to perform her job functions, she became a traveler with her many friends she met going to Rainbow gatherings.

Valerie taught ceramic classes at Nacogdoches Recreation Center. She enjoyed her grandchildren and especially enjoyed her great granddaughters. She also enjoyed listening to music, playing games with her grandkids, and visiting her friends and family. Her & D.C. always watched Jeopardy together and she carried out the same routine when he was gone. Heaven forbid you interrupt Jeopardy..
She loved the Lord, her family, and her friends. She followed Christs’ instruction to love as He loves. She was a giver of love and joy. She didn’t forget anyone’s birthday and always put a card in the mail wishing you a happy birthday. Her favorite scripture was “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.” Phil. 4:4.
