Valeria Pricilla Daniel passed away at Southern TN Regional Pulaski on Thursday February 5, 2026. She was born August 29, 1963 in Athens, Alabama and was 62 years old. She was a woman defined by strength, perseverance, and love. A tireless hard worker, she continued to give of herself until her body no longer allowed her to do so, never complaining and always pushing forward with quiet determination. Her work ethic was matched only by her devotion to her family. Above all else, she was a devoted and extraordinary grandmother. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, her greatest joy, and her proudest blessing. She loved them deeply and unconditionally, speaking of them often, cherishing every moment spent with them, and finding her greatest happiness in their laughter, growth, and accomplishments. Her love for her grandchildren was boundless and unwavering, and they will forever carry her warmth, wisdom, and affection in their hearts. She was also a loving mother to 3 daughters who she loved beyond measure. She spoke often of how proud she was of them and all they had accomplished, celebrating their successes and standing firmly beside them through every season of life. Her faith was an important part of who she was. She found Christ at a young age, and although her health prevented her from consistently attending church in recent years, her belief never wavered. Shortly before her passing, she found great joy in returning to Saint James Primitive Baptist Church—the very first church she visited when she moved to Pulaski, Tennessee. She shared with her daughters how much she enjoyed being there and spoke of her desire to join, a reflection of her enduring faith and peaceful spirit.
Her legacy is one of resilience, love, faith, and family. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by all who were blessed to know her.
