Jolynn Boruck Obituary

Jolynn BORUCK Jolynn was born October 14, 1955 in Seattle, WA and passed away on September 22, 2011 in Shoreline, WA at the young age of 55. Jolynn was the daughter of the late David and Joan Wilkes. She grew up in the Seattle area and graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School. Jolynn worked as a type setter prior to taking over the bookkeeping duties at their family business, Boruck Printing, working beside her husband Art for many years. Jolynn is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Arthur Boruck; son, Frank; daughters, Melissa and Anita, and granddaughters Claire and Jordan. She is also survived by her sister, Terri. She will be deeply missed by many other loving family and friends. Jolynn was loved and admired by all who knew her. She possessed a gentle spirit and a brave and courageous attitude throughout many years of health challenges. She was kind and accepting toward all. She was a loving and giving wife, a caring mother and grandmother. She was a friend to all people and animals, always putting others before herself. Jolynn taught us to see the good in everyone and she always had a smile on her face. Her greatest pleasures were her family and the sunshine and beach in Hawaii, where she spent many happy vacations. She will be fondly remembered and missed by us all. Funeral services were held Tuesday, September 27.

I met Jolyn through art. I have ben out of state
for many years and just discovered her obituary.
Jolynn was always very kind to me and she was always quick to laugh. I spent many evening with Art, Jolynn ,Frank and my son Todd. I was with Art when he started Boruck Printing. I always enjoyed taking Anita to Green Lake
I am shocked and sadden by her death.There are so many evil people in the world and not enough good loving people like Jolynn. I wrote an article about Joylynn and Frank and was thrilled when it was published. The world needed to know about this great lady. I cry tears for Art and his family. The lost I know was devastating. Art and Jolynn were great friends and great people. She I know is with god. Bruce Evans

Dear Art & Family - I'll always appreciate the privilege of once being a (minute) part of your lives. Your friendship and support helped me through some tough times. My most sincere condolences.

Naomi and I wish to send our deepest condolences to my brother, Arthur on the recent loss of his beloved wife, Jolynn.
I fondly remember meeting Jolynn by coincidence shortly before she discovered Arthur. I entertained her two young children while playing Santa Claus during one Xmas season near Arthur's shop. Naomi and I will remember her as a devoted mother, loving wife and hard-working business partner. Jolynn, we will miss you!

Art and kids - my thoughts are with you. Jolynn brings back memories of a wonderful, crazy time in all our lives. Art, I have thought of you and Jolynn so many times over the years -- especially during the elections! You both are a warm spot in my heart that I will always treasure.
