Valerie Greybe Obituary

Greybe, Valerie Patricia "Goddess of Fire" August 1, 1948, Capetown, South Africa - May 28, 2001, Los Angeles, California. Valerie's spirit has departed her body for God's open arms. Valerie gracefully danced and delighted all those who knew her. The trademarks of her existence were her love and sense of humor. Valerie loved to entertain and performed all over the world with her fire-eating dance. Valerie leaves behind her mother, Antwa Greybe, and a world full of friends, not the least of whom are her beloved Tai, Chi, K.C., and Kleur. A rosary is being held Friday night, June 1, 7:30 p.m. at Bastian and Perrott Mortuary, 18728 Parthenia St., Northridge. The funeral is being held at St. Euphrasia Church, 11766 Shoshone Ave., Granada Hills, June 2, at 10:00 a.m.
