     Valerie Diane Meyers, 51, a resident of The Dalles, died at the local 
hospital Sunday, Oct. 3, 2004.
     She was born Feb. 16, 1953, in Seattle, the oldest of five children to

later moved to Duvall, Wash. In 1971, she graduated from Tolt High School in 
Carnation, Wash. 
     She worked many years in the Seattle area. Also during that time, she

sailed up and down the Pacific Coast. She then moved to Dufur and worked as a 
city recorder in the early 80’s and was also a bus driver for Dufur School. 
     She met Ronald G. Meyers at a Dufur dance class and they later married on 
April 5, 1986, in The Dalles. She then moved to Wamic after they were married, 
where she worked at Wamic Elementary as a secretary. Her most current working 
position was at The Dalles Mid-Columbia Council of Governments as a payroll
