Jeannie “Jean” Valenti was a friend to all and spent a lifetime caring for all those around her. From being a parent and foster parent she changed and helped countless lives. Her life was dedicated to her loved ones, her late husband Joe was her rock, they stayed heavily involved in their church and led a devoted life together. They’re joined together again in harmony. Her siblings were her built in best friends and spent their time together laughing, playing games, and making sure everyone knew they were cherished. She is lived on by a beautiful and grand family. Her favorite things in life were the simple ones, from a hot black coffee, a game of cards, creating art and watching her family grow, she spent a lifetime full of gratitude for every little thing. She has taught us all compassion, empathy, and the truest definition of love.
