Vallarie Alyne Brown-Carr was born on December 22nd, 1956, in Wichita, Kansas. Val passed away at her home surrounded by family on September 21st, 2024. 

Val was a loving mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was a graduate of Perrin High School, earned an Associate of Arts degree at Weatherford College, and later earned her BBA in Accounting from Texas Wesleyan University. 

Val owned Remembrance Flower Shop in Weatherford from 1988-1992 where she worked together with her parents and sister. Her passion for event planning led to her involvement in the Miss Texas Organization where for many years she was chairman of the annual scholarship gala. She served the Miss Texas Organization as Vice President and Associate Director. For many years Val traveled the state with the reigning Miss Texas as a chaperone. 

Val showed her love to family and friends with her baking skills making yummy treats at Christmas and baking cakes on special occasions. Her talents for baking were recognized early on as she won several baking contests at local fairs. During the last several years Val used her passion for cooking as she worked at the Waffle House.
