It is with profound sadness that Talk of the Sound is reporting that Valerie Gomez has died after a brief illness.
Valerie was a generous, kind and caring person. I have known Valerie since I was 3-years old. We grew up together first on Stephens Drive in Tarrytown, NY and then in Irvington, NY when both our families moved there. Both our families were members of the Ardsley Country Club. In recent years, Valerie was especially kind to my children when we visited Playland where she worked for many years and more recently when she worked in New Rochelle for Regal Cinemas. After she left Regal Cinemas she worked with me on various Talk of the Sound projects. She will be missed.
Her obituary is available on the Edwards-Dowdle funeral home.
