Norma Jean Brouillette

Norma Jean (Penny) Brouillette went home to be with the Lord on August 1, 2022. Penny was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma to Pearl (Williams) Logsdon and Harry Logsdon. During her childhood, her family moved and had a cattle ranch on the Colville Indian Reservation, moved back to Oklahoma, and eventually returned to Washington permanently. She held fond memories of her involvement in high school plays, and the years growing up when her mother Pearl operated the White Spot restaurant in Manson. On June 18, 1955 Penny married Marvin (Red) Brouillette. The couple owned and operated Dryden Orchards. Penny left her job at Sears when beginning her family. Along with raising their own four children, Red and Penny fostered six children. Some of those from Cuba during a period of political unrest. Penny had a strong conviction to her community and to children. At different times she served as a leader for both Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts, was a volunteer for the Douglas County Sheriff's Department, volunteered at Our House, had served as the president and director at the Cashmere Senior Center, and much more. Penny had worked as the secretary for the Catholic Family and Child Services and had held the position of the Director of the Cashmere Museum. She cherished most working with children for over 15 years in the Reading and Math lab at Cashmere Middle School. Penny was a member of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, the Catholic Daughters of America, and the Lioness Club. She supported a number of charities with a special devotion to St. Labre Indian school. With a love of entertaining, Penny cheerfully welcomed her family and many friends into her home. She often shared fond memories or fascinating trivia from her love of history. Her friends always looked forward to her company when she put on an English Tea. Penny is preceded in death by her husband Marvin Brouillette, sister Katherine (Logsdon) Hyneman, brother Herb Logsdon, and grandson Alexxander. She is survived by daughter Jeanne Graham and husband Skip, son Joseph Brouillette and fiancée Catherine, son Phillip Brouillette, and son Brad Brouillette and wife Teresa, and foster sons George and Andy Atrio. She took special joy in her six grandchildren Kristen, Benjamin, Andrew, Samuel, Jacob, and Johanna; and two great-grandchildren Gavin and Laila. A viewing will be held on August 18, 2022, from 1 pm to 4 pm at Heritage Memorial Chapel East Wenatchee. Services will be held at the Cashmere Catholic Church Friday, August 19th at 10:30, with a graveside service to follow.
