Adele Marie Perrault
October 19, 1952 - November 8, 2025
Kennewick, Washington - Adele Marie Perrault was born in Sunnyside, Washington on October 19, 1952. She, with her twin sister Michele, are the daughters of Frank and Virginia Perrault. Adele and Michele were baptized at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Sunnyside. Thus began her life long journey towards Our Lord, whom she loved. She was called home and passed to eternity on November 8, 2025.
The family grew up on a hop farm near Outlook. Life on the farm was good, if challenging at times - as farm life can be. Core values of Faith, Family and hard work were learned at an early age and became guiding principles for Adele. She attended St. Joseph's Church throughout her early years. Her education began at Outlook Grade School and she graduated from Sunnyside High School. She and her sister attended Eastern Washington University and continued studies at Wichita State University, leading to her Bachelor of Science degree and licensing by Washington State as a Registered Physical Therapist. This became her lifelong work. Adele returned to Washington to begin her career, first in Walla Walla and later in Tri-Cities.
Adele never married. Her family, her church, her work and yes, even her dogs, were the center of her life. She was a kind and giving person to the extreme. Anyone who knew her was touched by her life. She enjoyed traveling with her sister and parents during their lifetime. Special trips to Hawaii or the Pacific Islands left lasting memories as did the annual birthday trip to Leavenworth and the spring vacation at Ocean Shores. She was a long-time and ardent advocate for the unborn. She volunteered countless hours to Human Life of Washington towards helping people understand the value of life from conception to natural death. She was unwavering in her belief.
Adele is preceded in death by her parents and her brother Joseph, who died in infancy. She is survived by her sister Michele Ahlbrecht (Rich), and brothers Bruce (Pauletta), Wayne (Kathy) and Noel (LeAnn). She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins several generations down. She leaves a loving family in Washington, Massachusetts, and many other locations.
The family wishes to personally thank Adele's close friend and work colleague Pam for her love and care during years of friendship and for being there for Michele and family immediately following Adele's passing.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Adele at Parish of the Holy Spirit in Kennewick, Washington on Tuesday, November 18th, at 10:00 a.m. and will be preceded by recitation of the Rosary at 9:30 a.m. Visitation is on Monday, November 17th, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Mueller's Tri-Cities Funeral Home in Kennewick.
