We are deeply saddened to share the news of Valanta Taveirne's passing.
Valanta was a remarkable leader and contributor to the Houston Energy and Marine Insurance Conference (HMEIC) and the Houston Mariners Club (HMC). As a past Skipper, she was a pillar of the HMC in the 1990s and 2000s and perhaps most well known for her efforts in organizing the annual HMC BBQ and Chili Cookoff for many years, first at the Seafarers Center at the Port itself and later at the Pasadena Fairgrounds, raising funds and awareness for marine causes. Valanta was a role model and a friend to many in our industry.
There will be a Celebration of Valanta’s life on Saturday, March 9th, 2024.
We will always remember her legacy and her spirit. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. Rest in peace, Valanta.
