Valerie Lea Jordon

Memorial services for Valerie Lea Jordon, 60, of Joplin, MO, were held Friday, January 24, 2025, at Johnson Funeral Chapel in Sperry, OK. Phil Johnson officiated.

Valerie was born March 25, 1964, in Tulsa, OK, to Verl Dean Gray and Judith Ann (Johnson) Gray. She passed away January 14, 2025, in Joplin, MO.

Valerie loved everything Tigger (Winnie the Pooh), wolves, dreamcatchers, and other native memorabilia, anything pickle, riding her motorcycle and making cakes. She was the life of the party, even though she was always late. Valerie had the best smile. She could sure hold a grudge but she also loved with her whole heart. She would help anyone in need, whether it was giving someone a place to stay, or anything else they may need. She loved being surrounded by her friends and family and loved spending time with them.

She is survived by her children, Neal Jordon, Skyler Jordon and wife, Tanya, Amber McKinney and husband, Tim, and Delonda Jordon; grandchildren, Dominic Jordon, Deana Wells, Dylan Wells, Destiny Jordon, Summer Jordon, Alyssa Jordon, Skyler Jordon, Emberleigh Jordon, Kasara McKinney, and Keegan McKinney; great-grandchildren, Sebastian Wells, Alexander Soto; brother, David Gray; sister, Kandi Jones; several nieces and nephews; and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandsons, Aries Jordon and Edward Jordon; parents, Verl and Judy Gray; brothers, Robert Gray and Dean Jones; nephew, Larry Beeler, Jr.; and grandparents, Shelby and Zula Gray, and Jorge and Margrit Johnson.

Arrangements and services were entrusted to Johnson Funeral Home, Sperry.
