Valresia Verley

October 17, 1951~March 18, 2026

Valresia passed away peacefully on March 18, 2026, in Tampa, Florida.

She was born on October 17, 1951, in St. Andrew, Jamaica, and spent over 50 years of her life in the Bronx, New York, where she built a life rooted in family, faith, and community. In her later years, she resided in Florida, where she continued to be surrounded by love.

Val was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness for over 41 years, and her faith was a guiding light throughout her life. She carried herself with grace and strength, and her presence was both comforting and unforgettable.

She is lovingly remembered by her two daughters, her grandson and granddaughter, and her two great-grandsons.

Val was known for her kindness, vibrant spirit, and timeless sense of style. She was poised, warm, and genuinely compassionate — someone who left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Her ability to connect with others, offer wisdom, and uplift those around her made her deeply loved by many.

She will be missed dearly, and her love, strength, and beautiful spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

A memorial service will be held on April 24 at 6:00 PM at the Kingdom Hall, 1071 Soundview Avenue, Bronx, New York.

The family welcomes you to share your condolences, memories, messages, and photos below as we honor Val’s life.

My heart goes out to the Verley family. Valresia was such a warm soul. I have always admired the character of this family, and knowing her daughter and grandson, I can see exactly where that strength and goodness came from. She may have passed peacefully, but her spirit lives on in the hearts of everyone she touched.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Words feel so small when someone so special is gone, but I want you to know how much she meant to me and how grateful I am to have had her in my life.
Over the past year and a half, she became like an aunt and a mother to me. I had the privilege of spending time with her almost every day, and those moments are something I will always treasure. I truly feel that Jehovah brought us into each other’s lives at just the right time. While I was able to help care for her during her illness, she cared for me in a way that went far beyond—she guided me spiritually, encouraged me, and showed me so much love and strength.
Her faith, her kindness, and her warmth left a lasting mark on my heart. I will never forget the way she uplifted me and helped me grow closer to Jehovah. She was a beautiful example of love in action.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. I share in your grief, and I also share in the hope that Jehovah promises—that one day we will see our loved ones again, healthy and at peace.
One scripture that has brought me comfort is Revelation 21:4, which promises that Jehovah “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”
With all my love and deepest sympathy,

This is such a sad thing to hear. One day she’ll wake up with nothing but joy on her face and all memories will forever be completely erased! Jehovah knows who belongs to him and he is thoroughly loyal! Every promise he makes he comes through! I pray her family gain comfort from knowing the God she served. He loves you all dearly and it’s his desire to reunite families. Never to be broken up by death again.♥️ and Val was his precious daughter🙏🏽 for sure.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I kept thinking about the kind of person Val was—the warmth she showed, the laughter she brought, and the little moments that made being around her special. Those memories stay with me and remind me how much she was loved.

The Bible gives us a beautiful hope that brings real comfort. Jesus promised that “the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” (John 5:28, 29). And we’re assured that “there is going to be a resurrection” (Acts 24:15).
May those cherished memories and the sure hope of seeing your beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend bring you peace and strength during this difficult time.

My Dear Sister,
My heart is broken to hear of Val’s demise. I look forward to greeting her back in the Paradise on earth.
From the inception of our meeting each other she was genuine, straightforward, kind and loving.
I enjoyed our conversations immensely and I will cherish and imitate the courage you’ve shown for the truth and the times we spent in the ministry together.
May the family be comforted with the resurrection hope a hope she cherished, and endeavor to greet her in the paradise on earth when Jesus makes the call to awaken those sleeping in death as John 5:28,29 brings out. Please read: Revelation 21:3,4; Isaiah 65:17-25 and Psalms 37:9-11,29.
May those scriptures comfort you in knowing that Jehovah will undo death as (Isaiah 25:8) brings out, it “will be swallowed up forever.” Jw.org will give you more information on the condition of those sleeping in death.
Much love,
Connie Williams

My dearest family,

No word can express my love for you during this time of your grief, Although she is in Jehovah’s memory, tears are flowing for both you and Val.

Val touched my heart in so many ways. As the congregation knows I was the wild child, but it was Bal’s words of wisdom that so often readjusted me whenever I needed it with love and tact. Her home was always open to me whenever she was around,

We will miss hear dearly and will cry because she is no longer here, but as Jehovah sees all the tears He remind us that although Val’s death also pains Him, no doubt when we see her again at her best very sioon the tear that we shed then will be tears of joy.

So be patient and wait and have faith that Jehovah will not allow Val to sleep one day/moment than she has to.

My love and deep ffextio to you all at this time.

How you can describe a lady that was a perfect lady not only in your eyes if not, in everybody’s eyes, I thank God because he gave me the blessing to know her and to share with her a lot of beautiful moments ,she was not only my client, she was more than that. She was a friend to me. I knew her for a lot of years. I started to do her hair when I was 29 and now I’m 61 and she always was a faithful client and a beautiful
person. She was a friend to me ,and I know that she is now in a better place. God has better plans for her ,
I now she’s with the Almighty God . I thank God for
the time that he gave me to know her and to share as a friend, I celebrate her life today and forever she gonna be in my heart.❤️ 🙏🙌🏻
