Valerie Desharnais, DAR - Minisink Chapter
Battle of Minisink Monument Restoration Project
Valerie has been a resident in the Town of Goshen for 38 years. Her and her husband Jeff raised their two children here in Goshen.
Her career spanned close to 40 years in roles that included business owner, business manager, controller and project manager. A silver lining of Covid was her decision to retire early. Unfortunately much of her career was spent commuting which didn't leave time for community involvement.
Retirement has now given her the gift of time to become involved. She joined the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) in 2022 after discovering that her 5th Great-Grandfather served in the Bergen County Militia during the American Revolution. She is currently leading the Battle of Minisink Monument restoration project on behalf of the Minisink DAR Chapter.
