Death of Valerie Kapon

Death of Valerie Kapon

Jacques Venter (BUC Associate Executive Secretary)

We were saddened to learn of the death of Valerie Kapon, widow of Wilbur Kapon.  Valerie passed away in the early hours of Friday morning, 12 June 2020, with eldest son, Ashley, at her bedside.

Valerie was born on 26 September 1942 in Bushey, Hertfordshire. On 9 April 1961 Valerie married Wilbur John Kapon and their union was blessed with sons Ashley and Wesley and daughter Kylie.

Valerie entered employment within the British Union Conference (BUC) in 1986 as Receptionist for the BUC and held that role until her retirement in 1996.

Valerie will be remembered for her kind spirit. She was generous, conscientious, hard-working and modelled love to her family and friends.

We now look forward with her family, to Christ's soon return and that glorious resurrection day. Please pray for the Valerie’s children, grandchildren and their families during this difficult period.
