Bernadette Butler

Bernadette lived her life as a true servant of Christ—kind, generous, humble, and steadfast in her devotion to her family and her faith. Her gentle spirit, loving heart, and unwavering trust in God were evident in everything she did. She brought warmth, compassion, and light to all who knew her, and her presence was a blessing to her family, friends, and community. We take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with loved ones who have gone before her and rests safely in the arms of our Lord.

Bernadette is lovingly remembered by her children and their spouses—Marlene (Marc), Jerry (Mary), Brian, Brenda (Michael), and Diane (Dave). She was a proud grandmother to Jonathon (Roma), Melissa (John), Gregory (Christine), Danielle (Marissa), Aidan, and Will, and a joyful great-grandmother to nine great-grandchildren: Nora, Keira, Ava, JJ, Ivy, Oaklin, Xavier, Ophelia, and Xander. Her legacy of faith and love will continue to live on through each of them.

May our beloved Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, and friend rest in eternal peace.
