After the liberation of Leningrad, Valentina Arefyeva moved to the Sharansky district and later moved to the city of Tuymazy. She got married, raised children. She worked at the Tuymazinsky meat processing plant, for a long time - in a pharmacy. After retiring every day, she helps with the chores at the local church free of charge.
