Valerie Mulligan Obituary

Valerie Mulligan

El Paso - Valerie Mulligan went to be with our lord on October 4th, 2020, at the age of 56. After a tiresome battle with Polycystic Kidney Disease, along with other ailments, her time of suffering has passed. She was a beautiful soul and deeply loved by everyone who knew her. To know her was to be touched by an angel. She was an El Paso resident for most of her life. She had briefly lived in Bedford Texas where she and her husband, Craig Mulligan, began their family with their two children, Shaylyn and Chase.

Valerie had lived a full and meaningful life, being a successful dental hygienist for 20 years and later going on to get her Bachelor's degree in teaching. She taught at El Paso Community College and got such fulfilment from passing on her wisdom to her students who all adored her. She was a funny character and kept us laughing until her last days. She had a beautiful, infectious smile that she shared with all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband Craig Mulligan, her two children, Shaylyn and Chase, and her brother Steven Sharp.

Services will be held at Sunset Funeral Home West on Friday October 9th, 2020. There will be a viewing at 3 pm, services start at 4 pm with Pastor Robert Nickell presiding.






Valerie Mulligan partió a estar con nuestro señor el 4 de octubre del 2020 a la edad de 56 años. Después de una tediosa batalla con la Enfermedad Poliquística del Riñón, junto con otras dolencias, su tiempo de sufrimiento ha pasado. Ella era un alma hermosa y profundamente amada por todos quienes la conocían. Conocerla era ser tocado por un ángel. Fue residente de El Paso la mayor parte de su vida. Había vivido brevemente en Bedford, Texas, donde ella y su esposo, Craig Mulligan, comenzaron su familia con sus dos hijos, Shaylyn y Chase. Valerie había vivido una vida plena y significativa, siendo una higienista dental exitosa durante 20 años y luego obtuvo su licenciatura en enseñanza. Enseñó en El Paso Community College y se sintió tan satisfecha al transmitir su sabiduría a sus estudiantes, quienes la adoraban. Era un personaje divertido y nos hizo reír hasta sus últimos días. Tenía una hermosa y contagiosa sonrisa que compartía con todos quienes la conocían. Le sobrevive su esposo Craig Mulligan, sus dos hijos, Shaylyn y Chase, y su hermano Steven Sharp. Los servicios se llevarán a cabo en Sunset Funeral Home West el viernes 9 de octubre del 2020.

I am deeply saddened to see this news. I was one of Mrs. Mulligans students at EPCC Class of 2013. To her family, your wife/mom was an amazing instructor and like a mentor to me. I am who I am as a professional because of her. She was patient and kind. To her children, I felt as if we all knew you as well, as she talked about you two all the time. She was so proud of you guys. My deepest condolences.
