I am so saddened by the news of Valérie’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with her in Staffing at the RCMP. We had many discussions about our common upbringing as “BRAT’s”. She was a hard working and dedicated but also always had a smile for everyone. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and she will be terribly missed by many. My deepest and sincerest condolences to her family. Rest easy Valérie.

My deepest and sincerest condolences to you all.
Valérie was one of the first people I met when I started with Staffing at the RCMP, which kickstarted my long-standing connection with the organization. Her energy that she brought to work every day made it a joy to see her, and to call myself her colleague. She comes to mind whenever I see someone bike to the office, which leads me to remember the time she told me how she'd extend her commute to make it a worthwhile bike ride.
She touched more lives than one could ever realize, and will truly be missed.

My deepest condolences to your family for this unimaginable loss.
I met Valerie in 2016 when we both were new to the RCMP and beginning our careers. We later moved on to Organization & Classification where we shared many moments of laughter and overcame adversity together where we leaned on each other for support. I will remember Valerie for her resiliency, curiosity, joie de vivre and sense of adventure. I wish our last chat wasn't the last. Rest easy, Val. You will be sorely missed.
Quelle tristesse!
A la famille de Jean, nous vous témoignons nos plus sincères condoléances.
Bon courage !
