Valene's name originated as she was born her daddy's Valentine February 14, 1932 in Thatcher, UT. She was nine of fourteen children, daughter of William Louder Watt and Cora Elizabeth Ray Watt. She was raised in Thatcher and was a member of the LDS church. She graduated from Bear River High School and participated in the pep squad and was recognized as a B.R.H.S. sweater girl.
She married her sweetheart, Clair E. Andreasen, August 21, 1950, in Brigham City, UT.
They resided in Tremonton and raised two beautiful daughters, Julie and Lori. Valene worked at City Drug and later Hamilton Drug as a bookkeeper and clerk for twen-ty-nine years. She loved serving the public and took great pride in her work. She enjoyed playing softball in the Tremonton City Softball League. She was also well known for her homemade divinity, penuche, caramel corn, and raisin filled cookies. Valene's hobbies included cross-stitching, embroidering, and knitting. Valene enjoyed visits from close friends and doting on her wonderful grandchildren. Not a moment passed that she did not acknowledge their accomplishments, and she treasured her friendship with each. Valene's fondest memories are of camping trips to Jackson Hole and a special Disneyland vacation with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband Clair; her daughters: Julie (Greg 'Moe') Rose, Lori (Shane) Petersen, ten grandchildren: Jared, Justin, Mindi (Matt) Archibald, Cami, Ashley, Landon, Lindsey, Dustin, Dillon, Colton; one great granddaughter, Alli Shae; brother, Dee (Dorothy) Watt, Sunset; sisters: Ion Udy, Garland, Leah (Leon) McDonald, Brigham City, Delilah (Larry) Thatcher, Penrose, Alice (Ralph) Yearsley, Mantua, Judy (Kenneth) Gilson, Colorado Springs; brother-in-law, Ron Lemon, Hyrum; sister-in-law, Viola Watt, Longview, TX.
