British Union Conference

Death of Valerie Freeman

Jacques Venter (BUC Associate Executive Secretary)
9 June 2021

We were saddened to learn of the death of Valerie Freeman who passed away on Saturday, 29 May 2021. Valerie was born on 23 September 1933 in Lincoln in the East Midlands of England.

She entered employment within the British Union Conference (BUC) in 1952 as a Bible Instructor in the North England Conference. In 1978 she started working at Granose Foods Ltd as a Receptionist. Soon after, she shifted to Quality Control. After a short hiatus from 1983, she returned to denominational employment at Stanborough School, where she taught Home Economics until 1999.

Valerie will be remembered for her kind spirit. She was generous, conscientious, hard-working and modelled love to her family and friends.

We now look forward with her family, to Christ's soon return and that glorious resurrection day. Please pray for Valerie's children and their families during this difficult period.
