Vivian M. Valade's Obituary
Vivian M. Valade, 95, of Broken Arrow, went to be with the Lord on Monday, September 29, 2014. She was born in Hisperia, Michigan, on August 8, 1919, the daughter of Emery and Marjorie (Bevard) Violet. On December 29, 1956, she married her husband, William W. Valade. In her early adult life, she worked alongside her father building homes, followed by her work at Daisy Air Rifle as a machinist, and then, in later years, as a realtor. However, her most admirable work was as a homemaker. She was an amazing wife and mother. Vivian is survived by her four children, Connie Harwood, and her husband, Alan, of Brooklyn, Michigan, Conrad Valade, and his wife, Mira, of South Lyon, Michigan, Cevin Valade, and his wife, Laurie, of Fowlerville, Michigan, and Laurie Kirkland, and her companion, Warren Grubb, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter, Charmaine Easton, two sisters, Rosalind Willett, and Dorothy Violet, brother, Earnest Violet, and nephew, Darren Brady. Memorial donations may be made in her name to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
