Sending our condolences to our friends at the Ida Veterinary Clinic. Valerie was a great person, and will be missed by many! May she Rest in Peace!
It is with profound sorrow and deepest regret that we share the news of the passing of our loyal and dedicated veterinary assistant extraordinaire, Valerie D. Nolan.
Valerie died on Thursday, March 20, 2025, following a medical emergency and car accident.
Valerie had been with the Ida Veterinary Clinic since June 1986, and would have soon marked her 39th year of continuous employment with us in service to the owners, pets, and farm animals of this community. With her many years of experience, Val shared a wealth of practical knowledge with clients seeking advice. She was "the answer lady." Val had a sharp wit and an even sharper mind for details. She was the ultimate multi-tasker. Val set the
gold standard for a strong work ethic and for employee dependability, reliability and punctuality. She was a fierce Wordle and Connections player, and would somehow manage to get the whole clinic to play along with her. She also loved to share videos and stories about her pet pigs, Mushu and BeBe, and all of the mischief they managed to create.
Valerie's passing leaves a void in our work family that will be incredibly difficult to fill.
We will be closed this Friday, March 29th, to honor Valerie and attend her Memorial Service.
We ask that you please keep Valerie's husband, children, grandchildren and extended family and all who knew her and loved her in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest Well, Dear Friend!
