Wilmajean Weinstein

Wilmajean Weinstein, a long-time resident of Wenatchee, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2024. Living to 101 years old is the last accomplishment of her incredibly rich and adventurous life. Born on June 11, 1922, in Yakama, WA to Arthur and Irene, she moved with her family to Wenatchee in 1931 and graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1940. Four years later, she earned her RN Degree from Virginia Mason School of Nursing. In her younger years, she was actively involved in her church, her community and in her profession with countless titles and achievements including Worthy Advisor of Rainbow, President of St Monica Guild of the Episcopal Church, Charter member of Jr. Wenatchee Hospital Guild, President of Orthopedic Guild H, 50+ year member of Daughters of American Revolution, Page at Continental Congress in Washington D.C. 1952 as well as Charter Member of the Wenatchee Applarians, Honorary Member of the Lake Chelan Yacht Club, and a long-time past member of Appleatchee Riders. She married Royal C. Weinstein in Wenatchee in 1947 and they owned and operated The Fashion Shop on Wenatchee Avenue for 36 years. Royal and Wilmajean had a very close relationship for over 57 years until he passed. Together they enjoyed traveling throughout the world, something she continued many years after Royal’s passing. Being idle wasn’t an option for her and after Royal passed, she became a greeter at Confluence Health where she met everyone with a warm smile and helpful heart for 17 years. Her zest and love of life was tremendous. She made everyone who came to know her feel important and special. As a social butterfly, she could never say no – especially when living “The Good Life.” Wilmajean could be found traveling via zip line through Costa Rica or traveling via sailboat from Tacoma to Alaska. Wilmajean is survived by her sons: Edward “Ed” and Richard “Dick” (Mary), four grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. She is preceded by her husband Royal, her parents and sisters Mary Elizabeth “Beth” and Barbara, her son John and his wife Rebecca. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 20, 2024, located at St. Lukes Episcopal Church on 428 King St, Wenatchee, WA 98801. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Confluence Home Health & Hospice. Arrangements are in the care of Heritage Memorial Chapel, East Wenatchee & Cashmere.
