Happy Heavenly Birthday to Valerie Patrice Vaughn born September 26, 1977.

She passed away 1/16/23 due to cancer per Vaughn's family and friends. There is very little detail about Valerie's life. She was remembered as a sweet, kind, fun loving, and honest woman with deep humility.

Valerie was Aaliyah's best friend (since 1st grade) and normally kept her personally life private.

When CosmoGIRL! October/November 1999 Issue interviewed Aaliyah, they asked who does she hang with, Aaliyah responded:

A: I have two friends I’d say are my best friends - [Tommy Jeans model] Kidada Jones and Valerie Vaughn, who I’ve been friends with since first grade. I’m a homebody, so I’ll go to K's  house and just hang out and watch movies and bake cookies. I’m also close with my choreographer Fatima, Missy [Elliott], Lil’ Kim and Da Brat - we all call each other  and hang out at Missy’s house or go to a club and kick it. {credit: cametogivelove)

Her Funeral Service was held: Monday, January 30, 2023 12:00pm Family Hour, 1pm Service Triumph Church - North Campus 15600 J.L. Hudson Drive Southfield, MI 48075
