It breaks our hearts to announce that our amazing mother, Valerie Ann Smirthwaite (née Witcomb), sadly passed away on 9th February 2021, at the age of 81. Mom was diagnosed with cancer in November 2020, and was admitted to hospital on 25th January 2021 due to a serious infection. Unfortunately while awaiting discharge from hospital, Mom contracted Covid.
Our Mom was mentally prepared for the battle with cancer and we are all extremely proud of her.
Wife to George for over sixty glorious years, mother to Kerry, Debbie, Dean and Lee. Mother-in-law to John and Michele. Grandmother to Alex, Jamie, Natalie and Holly. Auntie and friend to many.
Our mother was pure warmth and friendliness with a charismatic sense of humour. Everyone was always made to feel very welcome in our home. She lived for her family and the hole she leaves in our lives is immeasurable. Mom had worked so hard to look after our father in recent times.
We have been greatly comforted by the love and words of support from family, friends and ex-work colleagues.
The funeral service and burial will take place at St Margaret’s Church, Chapel Lane, Great Barr, B43 7BA, on 18th March 2021 at 2.30pm.
Due to the pandemic, attendance inside the Church at the funeral is unfortunately limited. If you wish to attend, please contact one of the family directly.
We request family flowers only please. Mom was a fond supporter of St Giles Hospice, should you wish to donate, a link to the JustGiving page can be found at the top of this page.

Val was my neighbour for 7 years in the 70s and a good friend to my mom, Jean. I still remember Val's ever smiling face and cheery personality, and am saddened by the news of her passing. I send my love to her family
