Valerie Hildred Singleton (7 May 1931 - 10 Mar 2020)

In loving memory of Valerie Hildred Singleton who sadly passed away on 10th March 2020.

Val was born in Clapton, London in 1931, but lived in Chingford until she married. She had two brothers and was brought up by her mother as her father died at a young age in the war.

Aged 20 she married Harry Sorrell and moved to Walthamstow and then back to Chingford. Harry sadly died in 1982 and in 1988 she married Jim Singleton, and they moved to a new house in Brandon, Suffolk.

After Jim’s death it was discovered that she had dementia and her niece and nephews started the process of ensuring she had care support to stay in the home she loved.

In 2018, after a stay in hospital, she moved to Baylham Care Centre, near Ipswich, where she died peacefully in her sleep on 10 March 2020, just a few weeks before her 89th birthday.
