Carole Elizabeth Valleau, age 78 of Canton passed away on March 17, 2021.

Carole was born on March 7, 1943 to her parents, the late William and Mary (née Miclean) Graf. She is the loving and devoted wife of Thomas Valleau. They were married April 7, 1962 at Detroit Oakman Blvd. Baptist Church in Detroit. Carole is also the loving mother of Tammy (Tim) Dean, Tom Valleau and the late, Kristin Valleau; proud grandmother of Mandy (Ben) Weaks, Ashley Dean, Melissa (Tom) Moco, Brieanne Valleau, Paige Valleau and Alesha Valleau; great-grandmother of Cody, Millie, Easton, Camdyn, Harper, Piper and Kinsley. Carole is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her three brothers, Bill Graf, Bob (Kim) Graf, Jon (Michelle) Graf and her cousin, Diane Schwartz.

Carole’s grandchildren say, “she is the best grandma and an awesome cook.” When each grandchild and great-grandchild was born into the Valleau family, she felt such happiness and pride and demonstrated an amazing love for each one of them. Regarding her awesome skills in the kitchen, there aren’t enough superlatives to describe grandma. When it was time to prepare a meal, she went to great lengths to make it special. Carole was the center of their large, loving family, and she will be greatly missed by her family, her friends and all those whose life was touched by Carole.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2021 beginning at 3:00 P.M. at Ecorse Community Bible Church, 45 Southfield Road, Ecorse, Michigan 48229.
