Valarie J. Bailey, 56, of Moshannon, passed away on Sunday, January 9, 2022, at the Mount Nittany Medical Center. Born on May 7, 1965, in State College, she was the daughter of Robert J. and Sharon R. (Repasky) Fye of Moshannon.

Valarie enjoyed anything outdoors. Her “happy place” was fishing on Lake Erie. She liked to take long walks on the beach, camping, refinishing furniture, animals, especially peacocks & giraffes, and canvas painting. She was quite the photographer, taking pictures of everything, but always behind the camera. She had a green thumb, able to grow any flower or vegetable. She was a giving person, always wanting to help others. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was of the protestant faith.
