Valene Beadle Obituary
Valene N. Beadle, born on April 19, 1933 in Spokane, Washington, peacefully departed this life on November 18, 2025, at the age of 92.
Valene dedicated her career to caring for others, serving as a medical assistant in Weatherford and El Paso, Texas. In her younger years, she was known for her lively spirit and her love of dancing.
During retirement, she found joy in tending her flower garden and spending time with friends at the Senior Center, especially during Bingo games. She embraced her Catholic faith throughout her life and enjoyed reading and collecting dolls.
Valene was preceded in death by her parents, Valence and Chere (Hambrick) Beadle, and her beloved son, Michael Markalonis.
She leaves behind a loving family, including her daughters, Sharron Jensen of Louann, Arkansas, and Laura Markalonis of Weatherford, Texas; her son, James Markalonis of Weatherford, Texas; and her daughter-in-law, Lita Markalonis. Affectionately known as Granny Val or Mimi, she treasured her ten grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
Though no services are planned at this time, Valene will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her legacy of kindness, devotion, and quiet strength will remain in the hearts of her family forever.
