VALERIE ELAINE ELIZABETH O'CONNOR
(BENWELL)
July 20, 1949 – June 28, 2021
She is survived by her husband Darryle; children, Vanessa and Riley; grandchildren, Kaitlin (Cliff), Dakota (Aaron), Jack, Ivy and Liam, and great-granddaughter Rosemary. She is also survived by cousins, Marion (Maurice), David, Bradley and Pamela; mother-in-law Audrey; sister-in-law Earla (Danny), and brothers-in-law, Pat and Tim (Sandra). Valerie was predeceased by her father Matthew; mother Ruby and cousin Robert.
Valerie's greatest joys were being a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and reaching out to family, long-time friends and great neighbours. She also loved her time volunteering at the Charleswood Care Home and meeting with many friends at The Camels.
A heartfelt Thank You and great appreciation for the many doctors, nurses, and staff at the Grace Hospital ICU who showed great compassion, excellent care and concern for Valerie during her time of need.
Due to the pandemic a memorial service will be held at a later date.

Our family and the Benwell family were quite close in our younger years as we were growing up. My dad, Ed King, and her dad, "Bennie" both worked at the Coca Cola and were good friends. My mom and Ruby Benwell remained so after the passing of their husbands. Saturday nights would be "party nights" and playing cards and eating onion sandwiches. Meanwhile, my sister June and I, along with Valerie, would amuse ourselves playing kid games. Valerie was slightly younger than my sister (just over a year), and I was June's older brother. It has been a long time since my wife Sharon and I saw Valerie; the last time was at her mom's funeral although we didn't speak. Please accept our condolences on her passing. - Posted by: Douglas King (Childhood Friend) on: Jul 13, 2021

My sincere condolences to Valerie's family on the loss of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. Valerie and her parents lived next door to us on St. Michael's Road in the late 50s and were the best of neighbours. Valerie was friends with many of the children living in the area and close to my sister Maureen. Sadly we have not seen each other since the late 70s. May she rest in peace, God Bless.
