Valerie Peters of St. Helens passed away in her home on December 3, 2017 at the age of 57. Valerie was very artistic and she loved gardening. She combined these passions into a career as a florist. An eclectic style led to whimsical home décor that displayed her great sense of humor with things like fishing lure mobiles and empty frames hanging on the wall. A natural golfer, her powerful softball swing gave her a great long game from the first time she played just a few years ago when Val and her family started playing regularly at the Vernonia Golf Course. She was a great poker player so there were sighs of relief at the Vernonia Lions Club Texas Hold ‘em Tournaments when she moved to St Helens. Born in Portland, Oregon, she lived in Lake Oswego for much of her childhood but completed her education in Salem. After marrying Dan Granholm nearly 30 years ago, they moved to the coast where Val remained for much of her adult life, raising her son John Granholm, who was the light of her life. She was preceded in death by her husband Dan, a stepson Jesse and her parents Edward and Elspbeth Peters. She is survived by her son John and her stepsons: David, Josh and Simon, brother William, sister Victoria and brother in law Brian McKernan, sister-in-law Thyra, and niece Dannette and partner David and their children Caleb and Allie, and nephew Brandon and partner Nikole and their children Kaylee and Kamron. A wake will be held April 8, 2018 at noon at 876 E Alabama Ave, Vernonia. Questions? Call Vici at 503-519-6119
