Valerie Mainor

Valerie Antoinette Mainor was born in Brooklyn, New York to Joyce Mainor and the late James Mainor Sr., on July 25, 1960. She was the eldest of three siblings. She was a proud, faithful and devoted daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn and attended P.S. 256, Benjamin Banneker Elementary School and Sands Junior High School, later successfully earning a diploma in 1979 from Eli Whitney High School. Valerie found her own strength and forged her own identity. Upon graduating, she attended Brooklyn Technical College for two years and studied Computer Science; only to find that her true passion was with numbers, and later pursued a career as an Accountant in 1985, with American Airlines, in Chula Vista, California. In 1990, Valerie began a new career, and relocated to Prince George, Maryland, where she worked as a well accomplished accountant for Channel 50 WDCA. Valerie found joy in giving light to others. She was an awesome big sister who took pride in spending quality time nurturing her younger twin-siblings. She was pragmatic and expressed her love through what she did for her family, as well as friends. Her signature German Chocolate cakes were a big hit within the community and became a Mainor family tradition during the holidays that left a lasting taste of her love and kindness in the hearts of countless people. Valerie was a gracious woman, who was not only kind, but extremely patient. She could be counted on for anything. She did not hesitate to commit herself to being a relentless servant who dedicated 100% plus of her time and energy, giving freely while putting herself last and others first. She truly could be counted on for anything. Valerie became ill in 2013, and returned to Brooklyn, where she was surrounded by the love and constant support of her family. After fighting fiercely, Valerie’s battle was won on Monday, December 25, 2017, and she was called home by the Lord. Nevertheless, Valerie’s earthly presence will be missed tremendously and her memory will remain forever etched in our hearts. She is survived by: her mother Joyce Mainor, brother James Mainor Jr., sister Jacinda Mainior, two nephews James Bell- Mainor, Lawson Harper, and one great-niece Zoey Bell. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for crown of righteousness, 2Timothy 4:7
