Valerie Alice Kuelbs, 58, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2026. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and a vibrant soul who brought energy and warmth into every room she entered.

Valerie was the unwavering mother of Cecilia Kuelbs, Anthony Fuentes, Malorie Fuentes, and Jasmine Cancel. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Anthony Jr., Alana, Cameron, and Elvia Fuentes; Amaris and A'saias Cortina; Logan Jorgensen, Myla Lopez and Levi Rowe, each of whom brought her tremendous joy.

Known for her courageous personality, love for god and lively spirit, Valerie had a deep love for Motown music—the kind that filled any home with rhythm and memories. She spent much of her life surrounded by her siblings, children and grandchildren, cherishing every moment with the people she loved most.

Valerie leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and strength. Her family hopes that all who knew her will remember the light she brought into this world and carry a piece of her spirit forward.

Valerie's children will be holding a private time to say goodbye as those were always her last wishes.
