Obituary for Valerie Sorensen
Valerie Sorensen, a retired Library Assistant for West Point, died on September 8, 2014 at Valley View Nursing Home. She was 67.

The daughter of the late Irene Esther Wright Sorensen and William Sorensen II, she was born on October 26, 1946 in Baltimore, MD. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints in Middletown, NY.

Valerie Sorensen was a special, and truly unforgettable, human being. She was highly intelligent, sensitive, sentimental, creative, and had a very unique, witty sense of humor. You could hear this on her amusing personalized messages on her answering machine - one for each season.

She wrote some very beautiful poems about nature. Speaking of nature, her favorite "big four" were pumpkins, strawberries, a lighthouse by the ocean shore, but most especially her great love of frogs. She raised quite a few, gave lectures about them to teach people not to fear them or call them slimy, but rather to point out their many assets. She was a passionate environmentalist with a special concern that the wetlands not be destroyed by the pollution of modern civilization. She marched in the streets with others to support animal rights. She became a vegetarian.

Valerie was an avid reader. She enjoyed going to book discussions. She had a great love of good music. In her earlier years, she was a DJ for her college radio station. She was known by many for her delicious pumpkin bread and zucchini soup. She had a strong faith in God, and attended her church regularly, and taught music there.

As a friend, a person could not ask for a more caring, loyal and trustworthy person. She would be there for you 24/7 and put almost anything aside to help you out. She will be greatly missed, and that is quite the understatement.

A Memorial Service in Celebration of Valerie's life will be held at 7 pm on Friday, October 3, 2014 at Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints, 790 Silverlake Scotchtown Road, Middletown, NY 10940.
