August 24, 1943 – January 3, 2023
Sadness fills our hearts and thoughts as we mourn the sudden passing of Valerie. A beautiful soul, wife, mother, grandmother. Val was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Betty Haynes.
She leaves behind her husband James “Jim”; sons Sean (Mylinda) and Ben (Ryann); 3 grandchildren Matthew, Brendan, and Morgan; brother Michael Haynes and sister Christine Gamble; and many nieces and nephews and countless friends.
Val was born in Manchester, England and spent all her working years dedicated to education – Teacher, Guidance counselor, Principal, friend and mentor. Val lived and worked in Selkirk, Manitoba and eventually moved to Winnipeg where she retired from Seven Oaks School Division.
Her love of gardening and her grandchildren were her passion following retirement. She will be forever loved and missed.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I remember Ben telling me about her being born in Manchester 🏴 when I mentioned Billy Robinson during a conversation over lunch at Trizec back in the day.
God Bless her soul 🙏
