This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Valicia "Val" Marie Ransopher, 28, born on January 20, 1988 in Dallas, Texas and passed away on February 6, 2016 in her home in Fountain, Colorado. We will love and remember her forever.

Valicia is a talented singer and would sing with her brother Ricky, mother, and grandmother regularly and we loved hearing her sing. Valicia is a natural dancer and was a cheerleader like her mother. She self taught herself to play the piano, and would play at her grandmothers house. She is the only family member gifted in multiple areas. At a very young age, she would read for many hours at a time. It was at that moment, her intelligence and spirituality was apparent. Valicia found New Life Church as a teenager and loved attending and particpating at church services and desperation week. She regularly brought her children to church to learn about Jesus.

She is charismatic like her father (Rick) with an amazing laugh that you can see deep in her chest and shoulders. Valicia loved laughing and having you laugh with her.

Valicia's extrordianary loving and nurturing side showed through when she became a mother. Just like her mother (Carla), she was extremely cautious, thoughtful, and loving. Valicia was well prepared for the arrival of her first child.

Valicia was amazing with both of her children. She took the time to read to them, play with them, and teach them manners, and proper sentences. You can see characteristics of Valicia in both of her girls. Her first born is cautious, thoughtful, and likes things in order. Then you have Valicia's charasmatic personality showing through her youngest child. Always laughing and wanting you to laugh with her.

She was an amazing mother to two beautiful girls and being their mother was her most enjoyable calling.

She is survived by her two daughters, Skylar Westphal and Leiana Warren; her father, Rick (Mary) Ransopher; her mother, Carla (Greg) Larson; ex-step father James Mosley Jr., two brothers, Richard Kizer and John Ransopher; step-sisters; Mistie Hearron, Mindy Hearron; grandparents, Richard and Veree Pickerel; uncle, Don (Melissa) Pickerel; aunts, Cindy (Steve Sharp) Sweet Sharp, Ginger Pickerel, Karen Ransopher Brewer, and Kim Brown; and numerous cousins.
