Valerie F. Neuer

She was born August 4, 1932 in Brooklyn, NY to Karl and Louise (Tramposch) Hoegler. She grew up in Queens and worked for NBC.

She married Joseph Neuer on August 9, 1958 in Germany and moved to Albertson.

Valerie lived on Long Island, working in Nassau County at the Comptroller’s office for many years before moving to Treadwell with her husband when he retired in 1988. Valerie worked for the State University of New York at Oneonta as a secretary in the Chemistry Department from which she retired. She could type 120 words a minute!

Valerie loved music. She sang with the Walter Farrell Chorale, performed in the Mikado, and could be seen locally at St. Mary’s Church in Oneonta at Mass on Sundays singing beautiful harmonies and at St. Peter’s Church in Delhi as the Saturday evening organist and vocalist. She was an avid accordion player and would often play at friends’ parties.

She enjoyed reading and gardening and had a beautiful assortment of flowers around her house. Valerie enjoyed spending time with her family and helping her husband with many building projects. Her family loved her apple strudel and fried chicken and she was always up for cake and coffee.

Valerie is survived by her children, Eric (Kathy) Neuer and family, Peter Neuer, and Karin Elise Fields and husband, Andy Ramage; her grandson, P. Roy Fields; great grandson, Axel Lavery; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph; her sister, Nettie Sider; and her parents, Karl and Louise Hoegler.
