It is with great sorrow that we share the loss of Valerie Thomas Price, on September 6, 2025. The SCBA and it’s members are all blessed to call “Val” a beloved friend, respected competitor and two time State Champion Pitmaster! Val, along side of her husband of 40 years, Dean Price were a force to be reckoned with under the team name “Pimp My Pig”! Our deepest prayers and condolences go out to their family in this time of sadness.

The family will receive friends from 6-8 pm on Thursday, September 11, 2025 at Barr-Price Funeral
Home in Leesville, SC. A graveside service will be held at the National Cemetery at Fort Jackson
in Columbia, SC on Friday, September 12, 2025 at 12:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any gift you wish to make in Valerie’s memory, be given to Paths of Hope Ministries, a non-profit ministry in Peru that helps youth who are aging out of orphanages.

Attached is Val’s obituary which details an amazing life, full of accomplishments! https://www.barr-price.com/obituary/Valerie-Price
