Poetic Obituaries: Mrs. [Valerie L.] Stukes loved to dance

and hosted elegant dinner parties. A talented seamstress, she created evening gowns and made matching outfits for her and her young daughter.

She wrote short stories and four children's books, and her poems won awards from the World of Poetry Press, her daughter said.
