Valerie was born April 14th, 1969 in Benton Harbor to the late Lawrence R. Fisher Jr. 
and Sharon (Anderson) Fisher-Mason. On July 11, 1994 Valerie married Michael 
Romeo and devoted her life to her husband, children, grandchildren, family and 
friends.  Valerie attended St. Joseph and Lakeshore High Schools.  She was a 
member of the Flight Attendant Union where she worked for United Airlines for over 25 
years.  Valerie had the privilege and was very proud to take our troops from Tacoma, 
Washington to Prague, Czech Republic in route to Iraq in 2004 and she took troops 
from Alaska to Kuwait in 2008.   She was very involved with the community and the 
St. Joe Sun Coast Baseball League, plus many fund raisers and community 
organizations. Valerie loved crafts and making homemade cards and invitations, 
traveling the world and spending time with family and friends. Valerie and her 
husband, Mike, loved to entertain and hosted an annual Margarita Party for the past 
17 years. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
How we will most remember Valerie is for her infectious laugh, her bright and beautiful 
smile and caring giving personality.  A perfect quote for her love of life states:  “This 
life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, 
helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving.”  ~ Steve Maraboli
Valerie is survived by her loving husband Mike, daughter Madison Romeo of St. 
Joseph; sons Randy (Mary Kay) Romeo of Boise, Idaho; Joe (Beth Mitchell) Romeo of 
Kalamazoo; daughter Jenna Pounders of St. Joseph; her mother Sharon Fisher-Mason 
of Stevensville; sisters Paula (Brian) Cerney of East Dundee, IL; Leslie (Joel) Peterson 
of Stevensville; two grandchildren Vita and Kai Romeo; numerous nieces and 
nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.  She was preceded in death by her father 
Lawrence R. Fisher Jr.; her brother Lawrence R. Fisher III; Grandparents Nelson 
(Jeanne) Anderson and  Lawrence R. (Hazel) Fisher Sr.
