Valorie Ann Lester Duteau

Valorie Ann Lester Duteau, age 63, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2023, at her home in The Woodlands, Texas. She was born on September 11, 1959, in Calico Rock, Arkansas. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, working in the yard and rescuing stray animals. She was a woman of many talents and careers, but her passion was at the Fish Pond Café in Willis, Texas. She loved working at the Fish Pond and leaves behind many beloved co-workers, customers, friends and family. She knew NO stranger. She raised other children as her own, put a roof over one’s head that were lost, and wouldn’t hesitate a second for anyone or anything that needed her. Valorie had a heart of gold and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She was a member of St. Hyacinth Catholic Church in Deer Park, Texas.
