It is with sadness and a broken heart we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Valerie Lorraine Fitzsimmons  (Retired 30 year Oshawa/Whitby Realtor).  Valerie passed away suddenly after a brief illness on February 25, 2024 at the age of 74 with her family by her side, at Soldiers Memorial Hospital, Orillia, On. Valerie, beloved wife of George for over 30 years, loving mother of Lorrie (Peter), Lisa (Al), Tammy (Myles) and Jason. Cherished grandmother of Melissa, Mitchell, Ben and Kyle. Dear sister of Diane, Gilbert (predeceased), Vickie, Shelley, Paul and Jenny. Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. 

Valerie loved to shop especially in Arizona where she and George wintered for over 19 years. She always enjoyed a great murder mystery novel. Her famous butter tarts will be missed by all. But most importantly she will be remembered for her love for her family and friends, always being there for anyone in need.
