I received extremely upsetting news this evening. Harold David VALLE husband of Mary Lavina HENDRIX and the father of one of the nicest people I have ever encountered in all my years doing genealogy, Neva VALLE died this morning. Given how active she is I imagine several of you must have encountered Neva over the years while doing research. Harold David VALLE was the s/o Larkin Allen VALLE and Bertha Ellen JOHNSON. I do not have enough information for a proper obit, but Harold and Mary married 14 August 1941. At the time of Harold's passing they were residents of DeSoto, Missouri. Harold died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident 11 February 2007. The accident occurred a couple days prior to his passing. The accident occurred somewhere within the Kansas City metropolitan vicinity. His wife Mary Lavina HENDRIX VALLE, a son, 2 adopted daughters, and my friend Harold & Mary's daughter Neva are among his survivors. The list is incomplete as I know there are some grandchildren as well I know Mary Lavina HENDRIX has a number of Crawford Co. families in her line: HOPKINS, HARMAN, BRICKEY, MALLOW So keep Neva in your thoughts. Health issues have prevented her from returning to be with the rest of the family during her father's final hospitalization and the impending funeral, and she is very stunned and bewildered at the moment.
