“She was disabled and in a wheelchair, but she had carers. I don’t know what caused her death, but she certainly wasn’t sick. I’ve known her for many years. We played bowls and bridge together,” Yvonne said.

Valerie’s funeral service will take place at the Presbyterian Church at 11:00 on Saturday July 19.
