Biography
Valerie
Evelyn
Arbuckle
Allderman
was
born
on
29
February
1928
in
Orange
Free
State
,
South
Africa
to
William
Fredrick
Evelyn
and
Leonora
Frances
Rose
(Taylor)
Arbuckle
.
When
Valerie
was
only
18
months
old
, she was
diagnosed
with
diabetes
. She
continued
to have
health
problems
throughout
her
life
, but
always
maintained
a
good
attitude
. Her
parents
hired
a
governess
when
Valerie
was
five
years
old
to
care
for their
three
children
. At
age
seven
Valerie
attended
Harrismith
School
.
School
was
difficult
for her,
especially
when
she
missed
because
of
illness
. In
1940
one
of her
sisters
was
killed
in a
motor
accident
,
which
was
very
hard
for her
family
,
especially
her
father
. On
16
March
1857
Valerie
married
Gordon
Lane
Allderman
in the
Anglican
Church
in
Harrismith
,
South
Africa
. Her
husband
worked
as a
farm
manager
so
they
moved
frequently
to
different
areas
in
South
Africa
to
find
good
land
for
farming
. In
1857
Valerie
had a
miscarriage
with her
first
baby
. She had
two
more
miscarriages
and the
physician
told
her not to
try
to have any
more
children
.
Valerie
and
Gordon
wanted
children
so
they were
happy
to
adopt
two
infants
,
John
born
in
1965
and
Michelle
born
in
1966
.
Valerie
had
attended
several
different
churches
during
stages
of her
life
. In
1962
she was
briefly
introduced
to the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
, but not
much
came
of her
introduction
immediately
because
she and
Gordon
moved
their
family
to
care
for
Gordon's
father's
farm
. On
12
April
1970
Gordon
was
baptized
into the
LDS
Church
.
Valerie
prayed
about
the
Church
and
decided
it
was
true
; she was
baptized
in
August
of
1970
. She
struggled
with
smoking
but was
finally
able
to
overcome
it
, and she
developed
a
strong
testimony
of the
gospel
. Her
husband
gradually
became
less
active
in the
Church
, but her
children
were
raised
with the
gospel
and
both
were
baptized
when
they
turned
eight
.
Valerie
became
very
active
in the
Church
and
continued
serving
the
Saints
in
South
Africa
.
Abstract
<p>
This
autobiography
is
seven
pages
long
,
handwritten
in
ink
.
It
is
somewhat
difficult
to
follow
because
the
writing
jumps
from
idea
to
idea
and
does
not
consistently
go
in
chronological
order
.
Valerie
writes
about
her
growing
up
years
and
mentions
the
different
health
problems
she
encountered
,
along
with
challenges
she
faced
. Her
school
years
are
minimally
covered
,
perhaps
because
she
mentions
that she
did
not
really
enjoy
school
and her
health
at
times
prevented
her from
attending
.
Small
details
are
given
about
her
husband
and
children
. She
mentions
that she and her
husband
moved
frequently
due
to his
job
, but the
frequency
of
moving
did
not
seem
to have a
large
impact
on her or her
family
. She also
writes
briefly
about
things
her
children
did
while
growing
up
.
Valerie
covers
her
difficulties
but
emphasizes
her
testimony
.
<p>
(Valerie's
autobiography
is
included
in a
collection
with
four
other
women
who
were
living
in the
South
Africa
Mission
, their
names
are:
Pearl
Elizabeth
Ek
,
Barbara
Mann
Donaghue
,
Jean
Newbold
, and
Margaret
Wilson
Park.)
