Stacie Eileen Pruneda, 52, of Warden passed suddenly with peace and grace on Friday May, 1, with her family at her side. She is survived by husband Tomas Pruneda of Warden, and sons Justin Martinez of Moses Lake, Daniel Martinez of Warden, Chad Martinez of Warden, and grandchildren Joseph and Isaiah: brother Don (Ruth) Butterworth of Palmyra, Va.; sisters Nadine Bacchetti of Walla Walla, Susie (Gary) Dyche of Redding, Calif., Mary (Gale) Noyes of Warden, Ellen (Ken) Wood of Puyallup, Wash., Stephanie (Brent) Reeves of Yakima, Wash.; step-father Harry Strong of Yakima, Wash., stepbrothers: Chris (Diana) Strong of Las Vegas, Nev., Ron (Stacey) Strong of Las Vegas, Nev.; stepsisters Corinne Strong of Tri-Cities, Wash., Vivyan Strong of Oklahoma City, Okla., and step-grandmother Betty Strong of Klamath Falls, Ore. Stacie was preceded in death by her father Harry Butterworth, Jr. in August 1971, her mother Hazel Strong in June 1999, and her sister Betty Jean Wischemann in March 2007.

Stacie was born May 21, 1962 in Fortuna, Calif. to the late Harry & Hazel Butterworth. She attended schools in Ferndale, Calif., until moving to Warden at age 16, where she attended and graduated from Warden High School. She was attending Big Bend Community College when she discovered her true calling to become a legal secretary. Stacie was employed for nearly 30 years in the legal field and often told her family that one of her greatest joys in life was helping people. She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and godmother who spent her life giving to and helping others. Stacie loved her family and appreciated all the special friendships throughout her life.

Stacie enjoyed the outdoors and loved horses since early childhood, and got her very first horse - a Shetland pony named Teeny Bit - when she was eight years old. She lived on the family dairy in Ferndale, Calif. where she and her sisters spent their childhood and teen years riding horses with their friends, prior to moving to Warden. In her adult years, Stacie adored her sons Justin, Daniel and Chad and she and Tom spent many years watching and cheering on the boys as they played baseball and wrestled. Stacie and Tom also enjoyed many seasons together playing co-ed softball.
