Valerie Harman Obituary

Our dear sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully on April 3, 2025. She was the only sister to 5 brothers. Valerie was born May 23, 1950 to George E. and Joyce Emery Harman.
She grew up on the family farm in South Jordan with her parents as well as grandparents John Dewey and Vera Harman. She enjoyed her grandmother's wonderful cooking. Her father and grandfather had a dairy farm in South Jordan where they also raised sheep and horses. Her job was to stomp the wool after the sheep were sheered. She loved her horses, riding in the fields and the river up into Sandy and Draper. She loved going to Layton to visit aunt Irene and uncle Ernest staying over with her cousins.
Valerie was a talented seamstress making clothes for many of us, crocheting and making beautiful quilts that she sold for a time. She worked for Dunford Bakery, National Semiconductor and a secretary for her brother Robert's stucco company. She loved classic cars, romance novels, traveling, camping and the family river trips spending time with family and friends.
She was up for anything, full of life. The last few years have slowed for her. We will cherish those times with her, the gifts of her talents she shared with us. We will miss her dearly.
She is survived by her brother: Robert (Terry), sister-in-laws: Susan Harman, Sandy Harman and Laura Harman, nieces and nephews: Brandy, Bridget, Stephanie, Shawn (Tiffany), Tiffany (Jeremy), Jenny (Scott), Jeremy (Christina) as well as Camie, Steven and Anthony. She is preceded in death by her parents and her brothers: David, Johnny, Rex and Joel. We would like to thank Bridget for her endless devotion to her as well as Terry for all she did for her and for her dear aunt Elaine for her service to her.
A celebration in her honor will be held on April 25, 2025 at 12:30 PM at the River Ridge Stake Center, 10168 S. 1000 W., South Jordan, Utah.
