Valerie Jean Warden's Obituary
Valerie Jean Warden, age 62 of Rehoboth Beach, DE, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. Born in Flint, Michigan on October 15, 1960, she was the daughter of Ruth (Rambeo) Norden and the late Kenneth Norden.
Although born in Flint, Valerie’s family moved to Maryland in her formative years, and she was a Class of 79 graduate of Towson High School in Towson, MD. Valerie was hard-working and had careers in the restaurant business as a waitress and a mixologist, but also as a retail specialist, where she had the opportunity to meet hundreds of people. She took pleasure in simple things in life and loved to let her inner artist shine through creating unique pieces of jewelry. She also loved getting her fingers in the dirt and working with plants. Above all the time spent with those she held dear was what she cherished most. Valerie was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her father, Valerie was preceded in death by her brother, Randy Norden. She is survived by her beloved husband Michael Warden; her son, Richard Williams, II; her mother, Ruth Norden; her sister, Janice Norden-Robbins; her brothers, Jeff Norden and Kenny Norden, and step-son Austin Smith
