Sad news from Debbie Blatnik Roberson, BHS ‘70

Debbie spoke to Val’s dad, Bill Pyros, and this is what he told her. Val passed away on Wednesday at 1:30.

She had gone to a wedding two weeks earlier and was doing great. After that she woke up screaming and couldn’t breathe.

Immediately Mark got her to St. Joseph’s. She suffered a stroke and cardiac arrest.

She was not responsive and passed away on May 9th from a blood clot in the lung.

Valerie grew up at 1015 Groton Drive in Burbank and in high school was a banner carrier and a drill team leader. She lived with her husband in Burbank.

Among the family that survives her are her husband, Mark Jenkins, her 90 year old father, Bill Pyros, of Burbank, and her younger brother, Roy Pyros, BHS ‘75, also of Burbank, and his family.

Per Valerie’s wishes, there will be no services for her.

I can't help from noticing the older I get the more I hear about friends leaving this world, but on another note, I guess I'm ready to see what's on the other side. This world is starting to get too crazy for me. Peace and comfort to all who has lost loved ones! 🌹 💕 🙏🏽

So very sad to hear. I remember her from BHS I was a sophomore. I didn’t know her. I knew Roy growing up across from the Flavin’s.
These are the hard ones to understand. It just goes to show you as tough and as unique our bodies are, they are also very complex and fragile at the same time.
Live and enjoy life at its fullest everyday.
R.I.P. Valerie. Heartfelt sympathy to the family.
