Valinda Carol Nalley Roberts

Valinda Carol Nalley Roberts, 64, passed away unexpectedly from natural causes on Friday, December 27, 2024, at her home where she resided in a 55+ community. Born at St. Frances Hospital in Greenville, SC to Bernice Evatt Nalley and the late Daniel L. Nalley, Sr.

Valinda was a 1978 graduate of Easley High School. She spent most of her employment years in accounting until her back disability retired her. She found joy in collecting colorful clothing and Asian art. If you knew her, she could find humor in unusual ways and graced us with her contagious laughter.

Valinda had the most amazingly BEAUTIFUL handwriting. One relative said this, “We’ll be finding/reading her beautiful handwriting for the rest of our days.” Her son, Andrew, shared that he discovered the identity of Santa Claus because he recognized her handwriting on the gifts that Santa had left for him.

Valinda is survived by her son’s father, Steve Roberts, her son Andrew Roberts (spouse Hailey Roberts), sister Vickie Nalley McDaniel (spouse Len Moss), her brother Daniel Nalley (spouse Pam Nalley) and their son Joshua Nalley (spouse Angelina Nalley) the parents of her two great nephews, Luke and Hudson Nalley. Valinda was fortunate to be born into the Nalley family who blessed the earth with 30 Nalley cousins and from her mother’s side of the family another 5 cousins. She never lacked for family or friends.

The family ask that in lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Valinda be made to Potter’s Clay Fellowship P.O. Box 2888 Easley, SC 29641 or Pearlie Harris Center for Breast Cancer 131 Commonwealth Dr Suite 220, Greenville, SC 29615. 

The family will receive friends on Friday, January 3, 2025, from 1:00 PM until 1:45 PM at Robinson Funeral Home – Powdersville Road. A Graveside service will follow at 2:00 PM in Robinson Memorial Gardens. Thank you for sharing in our celebration of her life.
