VALERIE SPECTOR REIN, 
86, of White Plains, N.Y., died 
Nov. 2, 2022.
A graduate of Mumford High 

School, Michigan State, Wayne 
State and Queens College and 
the daughter of Ceil (Radom) 
and Harry Spector, Valerie grew 
up in Detroit as part of a large 
and close-knit family. She was 
married to Alan, whom she 
described as her “perfect com-
plement,
” for 62 years, until his 
death last year
Unstoppable in her various 
pursuits, Valerie exuded bound-
less energy, ideas, creativity 
and enthusiasm, which made 
her the gifted teacher during 
her more than 26-year career 
that her students and families 
remember. 
She was active in many com-
munity and social organiza-
tions. Never one to consider any 
obstacle a reason to stop trying, 
she continued to inspire her 
friends and family. 
Mrs. Rein is survived by her 
daughter, Catherine Manin

Rein (Nicole Haberland); 
grandchildren, Max Rein, 
Michaela Rein and Dylan
