Valera Jane Holden, born on July 18th, 2001, ascended to heaven on November 21st, 2019 at the age of 18. As a child, Valera loved to play and was constantly smiling. She grew into a beautiful young woman and mother who aspired to go into the nursing field. Valera was full of hopes and dreams, and she made everyone who encountered her swell with joy. Valera is now safe in heaven being protected by her late grandmother Vicki Morris-Neumann and her late grandfather’s Robert Holden and Johnny Ford Sr. Grieving the loss of Valera include her son Oliver James Holden, her mother and stepfather Angie and Johnny Ford Jr, her father and stepmother Josh Sr. and Jessica Holden, her siblings Joshua, Joclyn, and Faith, and her grandparents Betty and Mike Holcomb and Tony Neumann. She will forever be in all of our hearts, and we will always remember her as the beautiful, kind woman she was.
