Hume Oliver ValHUME-OLIVER, Valerie - In her 79th year, Valerie died peacefully on Wednesday October 17, 2019 at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto.

Pre-deceased by her mother, Dorothy Hume (nee Tranter), father, Alfred Jack Hume, and her husband, the Reverend Stephen Melbourne Oliver.

Forever remembered by her loving step-children: Stephen (Jenny), Philip (Mary), Peter (Rose) and Susan (Jim); her loving grandchildren, Catherine, Rebecca, Julia, Victoria, Diane, Genevieve, Emily, Alexandra and Oscar: and her cat, Buddy

After achieving ARCT diplomas in both piano and organ, she studied choral directing. Over the years, Valerie served as organist and choir director for many parishes in Toronto. At family gatherings and special events Valerie spread her love of music by playing the piano, the trombone, the guitar and any other musical instrument she could find.

Valerie dedicated 35 years to public education as a classroom teacher, music specialist, and music program leader.

Upon retirement, she dedicated herself to caring for her husband, grandchildren, and friends in need.

Valerie is best remembered by her family for her dedication to caring for others, her passion for sailing at the RCYC, and her love of summers at Loon Lake, Muskoka.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Tillmann, staff, and volunteers of Sunnybrook ICU for their compassionate care.
