Adrienne E. McAlpine

May 3, 1973-January 17, 2020

Adrienne E. McAlpine, Dayton resident, passed away at her home early Friday morning, January 17, 2020. She was only 46 and left us too soon.

Adrienne was born in Walla Walla, to James and Karen Kari McAlpine, on May 3, 1973, the youngest of four children to bless the home. She grew up in Walla Walla where she learned to dance and perform in theatre at an early age. She also loved journalism and the arts of all kinds.

Adrienne graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1992 and went to community college for a couple of years where she further pursued acting and drama. She studied in Portland, Oregon briefly before attending the Brenneke Institute for Massage Therapy in Bellevue and the Gary Manuel Institute in Seattle. She was licensed as a massage therapist and an esthetician. She spent some time travelling abroad which she thoroughly enjoyed. Adrienne moved to Dayton, Wash., where she owned and operated her own business. She operated Day Escape Spa & Salon for eight years before she sold the business and went to work elsewhere. She had many friends and clients who supported her in Dayton for those years.

She loved to work in her yard and garden, her French nesting poodles brought her so much joy, and she maintained her interest in the performing arts, cooking, dance, and listening to music. For the past few years she has enjoyed the company of her fiancée, Jeremy Riley as they made a home together and looked forward to their futures.

Adrienne's life was filled with more experiences than many people could dream of in multiple lifetimes. She made it her mission to bring people together and this was a gift she wielded with ease. Her positive energy was an inspiration to many who knew her. She will be missed by many in the community but especially by her loving family; her parents, James and Karen McAlpine of Walla Walla; her fiancée' Jeremy at their Dayton home; her sister, Cynthia Louise Williamson, Bellevue, and brothers, William Brian McAlpine, Walla Walla, and Robert Bruce McAlpine of New York City; as well as her aunt, Nancy Hanson of Mt. Vernon, Wash., and her nieces and nephew; Cassandra, Caitlin and Cody McAlpine and Mackenzie Williamson.

Adrienne was preceded in death by her grandparents.

A Celebration of her Life will be held in the chapel of Hubbard-Rogg Funeral Home in Dayton, Wash., on Saturday, January 25 at 11 a.m. Hubbard-Rogg Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

The family suggests memorial gifts in her memory to The Little Theater in Walla Walla, Wash., or The Humane Society also in Walla Walla.

Rest in Peace dear Adrienne until we meet again.
