Margaret Valk Obituary

Margaret Valk, age 89, passed away on November 2, 2025 in Roseville, CA. She was a devoted military wife for 22 years, predeceased by her beloved husband of 68 years, James W., and daughter, Cheryl. She is survived by her children James S. (Elizabeth), Steven (Jennifer), adored granddaughter, Kaitlyn, and great-granddaughter, Taytum. She enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom (to the neighborhood!) and absolutely treasured her time as a grandmother and great-grandmother. Services will be held privately.
