She married Wilfred Trombley in 1979, and together they enjoyed classic cars, riding the Harley, and being active members of the Quaboag Riders and Hill Climb Club. She enjoyed the beach, cooking, being a mother to her only daughter Nicole, and later a grandmother. After their divorce, she found the love of her life and soulmate Jeff and was finally able to live and be her true self. They saw the country together. They went on many vacations, went camping, and enjoyed life together spending time with their three grandchildren.

As they got older, they spent their time together going on rides on the Harley, doing a lot of benefit rides, and continued enjoying life together. Valerie is predeceased by both of her parents, Robert and Ruth, and her eldest sister Bonnie.
