Valerie Ann Jones, 57, of Bulverde, TX, passed away on June 25, 2024, after her fight with gastric cancer. She was born on April 23, 1967, to Melvin & Clara Beckler in Mandan, North Dakota (ND) and grew up in Hazen, ND. After Valerie graduated from Hazen High School in 1986, she studied graphic design at Bismarck State College and received her associates degree. Valerie began her career in graphic design working for companies in North Dakota and then Texas. After having children, she was blessed to start a graphic design business, working from home. In 1994, Valerie went on a blind date, set up by Tom & Lori Leutz, and met Richard L. Jones Jr., the love of her life, who lived in San Antonio, Texas. Lori worked with Valerie, and Tom had been Richard’s longtime friend. Tom and Lori thought that Richard and Valerie seemed to be a perfect match, and they couldn’t have been more right. Richard & Valerie were married in North Dakota in 1995, and soon after relocated to San Antonio, to build their lives together. After their marriage, they welcomed their first daughter, Savannah Jones, in 1997. Sierra (Jones) Bailey was born in 2000, and completed their family. Richard & Valerie, and their two beautiful daughters, shared many great travels and memories together as a family. Valerie had an exceptionally strong faith that persisted until her final day of life. She will be missed by an abundance of friends and family members who were touched by her special love for the Lord. Valerie’s outgoing and loving personality instantly won over everyone who had the privilege of meeting her. Her contagious laugh and fun spirit will never fade. Valerie is survived by: Richard L.
