Arlene Kay (Walczak) Petrusse

Arlene Kay Walczak Petrusse entered into rest on December 11, 2020.  Arlene was born on September 14, 1948 to Alex and Stella (Kraupa) Walczak of Enumclaw.  Arlene graduated from Enumclaw High School and was a lifelong Enumclaw resident.  She was very proud of her 33-year career with Boeing as a Machinist. 

Arlene was a devoted mom, grandmother, sister, and auntie.  She loved Mount Rainier, the farm, NASCAR, the Mariners, and traveling with friends and family.  Arlene was a diehard country music fan, enjoyed watching the hydroplane races and Blue Angels during Seafair, and the company of her cat Charcoal. 

Arlene is survived by her son, Earl (Buddy) Petrusse (Sonya); sister, Carol Buckendahl; two granddaughters, Kendell and Raylynn; three nieces, Terra Higginbotham (Mike), Trina Munsch (Chad), and Tricia Hoskins (Steve); and many great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alex and Stella (Kraupa) Walzcak and brother-in-law, Edwin Buckendahl. 

 A private family graveside service will be held at Enumclaw Evergreen Memorial Park with Father Clarence Jones presiding.

Please share a memory with Arlene's family on the tribute wall.
