On December 5, 1958 Valerie Lynette Jarrett was born to Theodore Cooper and Ruth Porter. She was preceded in death by her parents. She was the older of two children.

In 1967 Valerie accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized at First Missionary Baptist Church. She continued to deepen her faith under the leadership of Pastor Leonard Lyons at Greater Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan.
On January 23, 1974 filled with joy and excitement, Valerie gave birth to her one and only baby girl LaQuita Chapman (her Little Ruth).

No children were born to this union. Fred and Valerie shared over 30 years of love and friendship with each other.
