William Edward Brunette, 82, died Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, surrounded by his beloved family. He was born Nov. 29, 1930 to Lawrence Edward “Knobby” and Verna Belle (Ledger) Brunette in Milwaukee. At a young age he moved to Rhinelander and worked with his parents as a young boy at City Cleaners; which opened in 1944. He went on to own City Cleaners. William met the love of his life Betty (Elizabeth Marie) Turcotte, and was married Jan. 3, 1953, at St. Mary’s Church in Rhinelander. He was drafted and served for two years in the Army during the Korean Conflict, and was honorably discharged. He belonged to several organizations including the VFW and Lions Club where he was active with the Eye Bank, and made several trips to Madison to help with transports. He was also involved with the Male Chorus, scouting, stunt night, a member of St. Mary’s, where he was active as a Eucharistic Minister and usher. He loved the Packers, hunting, fishing, bowling and was an avid gardener, and he loved his roses. He attended many dry cleaning conventions and conferences, which he started going to with his father and later with his wife and children. William is survived by his wife, Betty; his children, David (LuAnn) Brunette of Rhinelander, Daniel (Cathy) Brunette of Rhinelander, Timothy (Lisa) Brunette of Rhinelander, and Michelle (Todd) Luedtke of Eagle River; his grandchildren, Nathan, Tyler, Nicole, Allison, Michael and Mikaela; and great grandchildren, Mary Leona Jagoda, and twins on the way. He is further survived by many family and friends. William is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Wayne and Darrell; and sister, Viola Stefonek. A Mass of Christian Burial was held Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013 at Nativity of Our Lord-St. Mary’s with the Rev. Tom Thakadipuram officiating. (Hildebrand Russ Funeral Home)
