Mrs. Echols was born on August 25, 1938 in Hall County, Georgia to the late Andrew and Archie Smith Morrison.

Mrs. Echols was a very active member of the Enon Baptist Church for over 65 years. She along with her husband, Jimmy founded Jaemor Farms in 1981. Many people have used two words to describe Valvoreth, "Hardworking" and "Loving". She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and was known as "Nanny" to her grandchildren.

Echols, of Alto; daughter and son-in-law, Teresa and Bruce Jackson, of Alto; son, Tim Echols, of Alto; sons and daughters-in-law, Jarl and Beth Echols, of Alto; Judah and Kelly Echols, of Alto; Jonathan and Denise Echols, of Gainesville; sister, Willa Lee Coker, of Demorest; sister-in-laws, Joann (Marvin) Brock, of Lula; Janice (Bob) Dale, of Alto; twenty grandchildren, thirty-four great- grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Valvoreth would always say "We Are So Blessed"
