Nancy Valles Obituary

Valles, Nancy Joan With profound sadness, we announced the passing of Nancy Joan Valles (nee Grundei) on the 30th of April 2020. She left us at the age of 85 while resting peacefully in her home in Park Ridge, Illinois. She was a loving wife to Miles, a devoted mother to Pam (Jerry) Wayer, Karen (Mike) Klimas and Ellen (Gary) Valles Wyshel and the proud Nana of Jennifer, Jessica, Julie, Ted and Joe. She was predeceased by her sisters Rosemary and Helen May and her brother Augie. Nancy was a fun wife, mother, teacher and friend, who loved to travel and made learning and exploring local activities into an adventure. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. A private service and interment was held at St. Joseph's Cemetery in River Grove. A memorial service will be held at a future date.

Dear Pam, Jerry and family,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Nancy. She was such a nice lady. I think of our days at the CFD Mass and our fun conversations. She may have left your life, but she will never leave your heart.
With sincerest sympathy, Julie and Jim

Dear Miles, Pam and Jerry, and Family,

I was saddened to read of the death of your beloved wife, mother, and grandmother...how difficult a time this must be for all of you. I will always remember her as a kind, warm, and joyful woman...a very special person, indeed. Please be assured of my prayers for the repose of her soul and my prayers for all of you during this time.

I will offer Mass for her on Tuesday morning with the Sisters here at St. Mary of Providence.

Blessings,

Fr. Tom

The thing I most remember about Nancy was she always made my family and myself feel welcome. Whenever we would stop by, she would greet us with a beautiful smile and showed sincere interest in us. We will always remember her for her kindness.

My beloved Aunt Nancy, a kind and caring woman and a highly accomplished educator. I will miss our times together, sadly, few and far between as we live on the West Coast. She was unfailingly gracious, especially to my daughter, Asha, who has special needs. I so appreciated her insight and advice. When I was going through breast cancer, barely able to manage myself much less Asha who is severely disabled, Nancy out of the blue sent us a check for seventy-five dollars for dinner! My thoughts and prayers are with my Uncle Miles, cousins Pam, Karen and Ellen and their families. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
