S. Valenti Obituary

S. Jeanne M. Valenti Jeanne M. Valenti passed away June 29, 2014, in Paso Robles surrounded by family and friends after a valiant battle with cancer. Jeanne was born August 1953 in Spokane, Wash. to Shirley and Justin Marshall. She moved to Newport Beach, Calif. after her freshman year at Washington State University where she completed her B.A. at Chapman University. In April 1988 she married Geno Armand Valenti, Jr. and in February 1990 their son Anthony "Tony" Valenti was born. They made their way to the Paso Robles area 20 years ago.

Jeanne is survived by her husband, Geno Valenti; son Tony Valenti; granddaughter Scarlett Rose Valenti; mother Shirley Marshall; sister Pam Bobson; niece Brianna Hendricks; nephew Marshall Bobson; and friends galore. We all will truly miss her spirit and determination. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 19, 2014, at the Paso Robles Elks Lodge, 1420 Park Street, Paso Robles.

Haven't heard from you in a long time. If you may or may know I have been layoff/retired form Delta after 35 years. Now I have to decide what I want to do when I grow up and turn sixty.

Take care in all your endeavors

Dear Tony and Family,
I was so sorry to read about your mother. She was such a great volunteer in our classroom. She helped make that 5th grade year a delight. I remember so well the projects you created with her encouragement. I still have the flower pot Christmas tree. I am sure she was helping her granddaughter in much the same way. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Geno, Tony and family: My heart aches for all of you. Jeanne was an incredible woman, neighbor and friend for many years and will be missed. Recently I was sharing that Jeanne taught Kortney swim lessons in your pool. I'm praying that your memories aid you in your difficult time.
