Lynn Marie Martuscelli

Lynn Marie Martuscelli was born the second of seven children to Dominic and Kathy Martuscelli on April 10, 1963.

She attended Assumption grade school and DeSales Catholic High School, graduating in 1981. Lynn loved acting and performed in High School and WW Community College theater. She loved dancing and was passionate about her art.

Lynn moved to Seattle to experience a more exciting life but happily moved back to Walla Walla years later. She had several jobs in Walla Walla before becoming a dedicated driver for Valley Transit, retiring after nine years due to ill health.

One of her nieces said it best... ”Lynn called herself the black sheep of the family, and in a lot of ways, she was. But it was the absolute best part about her. She was eccentric, out there, fun, artsy, intense, vibrant, different, and LOUD. But the best part of her was her kind, empathetic heart, to all, no matter what situation or place they were in.” She loved her children and grandchildren passionately.

Lynn is survived by four children, Chantelle Martuscelli, Carly and Charlie Hein, and Chris Ernsdorff; her parents; sisters, Lisa Cox (Kim), Michelle Kjeldgaard (Chad); brothers, Jeff Martuscelli (Leigh), Dean Martuscelli ( Elena), Eric Martuscelli (Laurie); grandchildren, Julian and Jude Guzman, Gianna Martuscelli; special friends, Collette Richman and Greg Elmenhurst; and numerous special nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her brother, Greg Martuscelli; grandparents, Dominic and Josephine Martuscelli and Walter and Inez Weber.
