Valorie Butler Andrade

After a brief but intense illness we are saddened to announce the passing of our precious daughter Valorie Ann Butler Andrade. Valorie was born October 27, 1982 and went to Heaven on December 2, 2020. Valorie was a life-long San Pedro resident. Survived by her Mother Lynda, Father Richard and Brother Michael John. She is also survived by her beloved fiance Jose Andrade and devoted Grandmother Jo Ann Nephew and Great Aunt Elaine Nena. Valorie's other numerous Aunts and Uncles include Michael and Lisa Butler, Frank and Debbie Zonni, Jeff and Jeannie McBurnett, John and Maria Di Iorio, Dionne Dew (Weaver), Ingrid Klungreseter along with Cousins Mark, Craig, (Maureen) and Eric Nena and many other family and friends too numerous to mention. She was predeceased by her Uncle Vance Bejarano and Great Uncle Charles Nena.

Valorie was a proud graduate of the San Pedro High School Class of 2000 achieving Academic All Star honors in her Senior year. She attended Harbor College earning credits in early childhood development. She worked as a Nanny and in medical billing before settling on a career as a CNA. She and her Fiance Jose were life-long Dodger fans along with being part time residents of Disneyland and Sea World. They also attended many Kings games. Valorie loved to cook and play with her rescue cats Muneca and Dodger. Her love of life was exceeded only by her love of her animals.

Valorie was here on Earth for only a few short years. There is no telling what she would have achieved had she lived a longer life but God and Jesus had other plans and she will be eternal. Graveside service will be on December 18, 2: PM at Green Hills Memorial Park. She will be buried close to her beloved Grandfather Burnham Nephew.

Due to Covid restrictions, services will be limited to immediate family and close relatives only. RIP Baby Girl. We WILL meet again someday.
