While alive, Valarie Green would have been more popularly known as the widow of calypso legend Aldwyn "Kitchener" Roberts and for popularising the flag-woman persona, but in death she is being remembered for her constant displays of love, strength and support to everyone she knew.

Greene’s family, including her son, musician Kernal Roberts, delivered tributes at her funeral at St Finbar’s RC, Morne Coco Road, Diego Martin, on September 29. They spoke about a woman who always stood by her family and “cooked the best callaloo in the world.”

Green died on September 19 at the St James Medical Complex after complaining of shortness of breath.
