Valerie Hubbard Brown

Valerie Hubbard Brown was born on March 1, 1949, in Houston, Texas, to Carter Kirven Hubbard and Jean Solomon Hubbard, and died on October 18, 2026, at the age of 77. Unlike many people memorialized here, she was not a celebrity, politician, or public official. She was a private citizen whose life, as described by her family, was one of curiosity, warmth and deep personal interests rather than public achievement, and the record of her life comes from the obituary her family placed through Horan and McConaty Funeral Service and Cremation in the Littleton and Thornton area of Colorado.

According to that obituary, Valerie grew up in Houston alongside a younger sister, Peggy, in what her family described as a happy household. She was remembered as having an intelligent and quizzical mind and a lifelong appetite for reading across a wide range of subjects, from C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower novels and Ian Fleming's James Bond books to the crime fiction of Robert Crais, Lee Child and Nelson DeMille. Her family also noted her enthusiasm for British history and television, her pride in being a Texan, her skill at crocheting and sewing, and a later interest in Japanese culture and K-pop, a range of enthusiasms that her obituary presented as evidence of a genuinely diverse and engaged mind.

Valerie attended Stephen F. Austin High School in Houston from 1964 to 1967, where, following her father and an aunt before her, she joined the school's Scottish Brigade, serving in its Bagpipe Corps. Her family's obituary describes this as the beginning of a lasting attachment to the camaraderie and tradition of the Brigade, one that stayed with her for the rest of her life. Beyond these details of her schooling and personal interests, no information has been made public about her professional career, marital status, or children, and nothing in the available record indicates whether she worked outside the home or pursued a particular occupation.

Valerie Hubbard Brown died on October 18, 2026. Her obituary does not state a cause of death, a place of death, or burial plans, and no further public cause has been disclosed as of this writing. Her family has arranged a Celebration of Life for her, to be held on November 13, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Horan and McConaty Funeral Service and Cremation in the North Metro and Thornton area of Colorado.

Because Valerie Hubbard Brown was a private individual rather than a public figure, there is little independent news coverage of her life or death beyond the obituary her family published. This page will be updated if further verified information, including details of her career, family life, or cause of death, becomes publicly available.
