Valerie Ellen Powers left us on the morning of August 23, 2023.

Valerie was born in the old Dayton Hospital on February 14, 1957, to Eldred and Ellen (Moon) Want. She attended Dayton, Waitsburg and Prescott schools, and graduated from Prescott High School. She entered the U.S. Army.

After her service, she lived in Prescott, Waitsburg, and Milton-Freewater. She enjoyed a lifelong love of her horses, hours spent with her grandchildren, and working at the Tractor Supply in Walla Walla.

We all loved her and will miss her.

Gone before her were her parents; sisters Linda, Wanda, and Sally; one brother Donald.

Survivors include sisters Marjorie and Virginia; children Zane, Stata, and Wayne; grandchildren Gracie, Ellie, Lydia, Everley, Tanner, Harmony, Dallen, Apollo, Nebaya, Hunter, and Morrigan.

A celebration of life will be held at the Prescott Lions Club on Saturday, September 24 at 1:30 p.m.
