Valerie Marie Rendak was the beloved wife to Michael, remembered daughter of the late Mitchell and Florence Pazdro, loving daughter-in-law of Helen Rendak, cherished Mom of Timothy (Erin) Rendak, Simon (Kelly) Rendak, and Adriane (Jeff) Montelongo, devoted Nana of Madelyn and Benjamin Rendak, and Mikayla and Malia Montelongo, dear sister and sister-in-law to Mitchell (Patricia) Pazdro, and Jo Ann (late Mark) Pfingsten, fond aunt to Tiffany (Matt) Siwula, Deanna (Jorge) Jacobo, and Christina (Mario) Gonzalez, great-aunt and cousin to many, and missed by all.
Valerie was the strength and the rock of her family. She showed unconditional love and support to those around her. No matter if it was great or terrible news, she always provided a listening ear, a quirky comment, and followed up with her supportive heart. A true anchor for her family. Ultimately, she was a dedicated, loving, and proud wife, Mom, and Nana.
Valerie wore many hats and was always willing to lend a hand, play a game, offer counsel, or simply be there for support if needed. Valerie thoroughly enjoyed coffee and cooking. It never mattered the time of day. A cup of coffee always sounded appealing, and she could create a banquet on a moment's notice. She was known to have a 'green' thumb and sincerely enjoyed to both garden and arrange flowers. Her love also extended to her four-legged family. Valerie loved and cared for all animals, especially her pup, Gi-Gi and her turtle, Michelangelo.
A Memorial Visitation will take place on Saturday, January 7, 2022 from 2:00 until 5:00 p.m. The Funeral Service will begin at 4:00 p.m. that evening.
