Tommie was born March 9, 1945, in Loveland, Colorado, to Miguel Carrillo and Amalia Marta Carrillo. Shortly after, her family moved to Wyoming, eventually residing in Arizona. There she met Sam Valerio and married on January 21,1968 in Phoenix, AZ and had three children. They were happily married for 53 years and together for 56 years. Tommie loved her Savior Jesus Christ, and was devoted to the Lord. She loved her family and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
Tommie loved going on country drives, spending time in her garden with her dear dog, trips to the state fair, and sewing and crafting patch quilts, a gift learned from her wonderful mom, Amalia. She enjoyed reading a variety of literature, including the Bible, and sharing about the beautiful wonders of God. We will miss the gift of her beautiful smile, her exceptional wit, her kindness and most of all her unconditional love.
