Amesbury - Valerie (Munroe) Vigneault died on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at Kaplan House in Danvers, MA, after a long illness. She was born in Newburyport, and lived briefly there and in Amesbury until her family moved to Connecticut, then California. From there Valerie joined the U.S. Navy, serving as a Medical Corpsman in Puerto Rico and San Diego. She met and married her first husband, Al Cothron, while stationed in San Diego, and when they finished their enlistment, they moved to Tennessee. Their only child, Shannon, was born while living there, but soon after, they moved back to Newburyport.

Several years later, after a divorce, Valerie met and married her true love, Joseph Vigneault. Val began studying to secure a job in medical records, and she worked at Anna Jaques Hospital for over 25 years. Over time she studied further to become a medical coder. Val and Joe settled in Amesbury with Shannon and their son, Joey. There, in and around their beautiful home, Val enjoyed crafts, needlepoint, knitting, crocheting, gardening, and long walks with Joe.

Val was known for her sense of fun and her fierce loyalty to family and friends. She had a beautiful smile and an iron will. She is predeceased by her parents, Frances and Dale Munroe. She will be greatly missed by her loving husband Joe, her daughter, Shannon, Shannon's husband, Ryan, and their daughter, Atlee; and by her son, Joey and his wife Mengdi. Val also leaves her sister, Marsha, brother-in-law Bob Reny, brother Tom, sister-in-law Anita, and brother Jon. Many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and an uncle are also saddened by her loss. Many thanks to the Kaplan House for their wonderful care.
