Upon hearing of your passing I began to think on all the times we saw each other, you never changed from day one,always loving,kind,and always had something for us to laugh at. You said what you meant and meant what you said,always being yourself.

Gonna Miss You , But We Say So Long Until We See Each Other In Heaven. Love You Mrs. Minnie Butler
Mrs. Butler opened her arms and heart to me in 2009 and I will never forget this lady, she never complained always were so beautiful and always complimenting my alfit, my hair, my skin, my nails, my jewelry and my shoes she was a classy lady a loving women in my life I am process this day by day but she lives in me she will always live through me she has taught me so much. She might have shared the story with many of you about when I showed up to care for deacon how I was standing like a toy soldier and as I came day by day I opened up and learned how to hug she loved to hug. It was a funny story I will keep the lessons close to my heart LOVE NEVER FAILS.. you live and laugh on my grand mother I never had Mrs. Minnie S. Butler
Ma Butler you were a beautiful lady. Louis and I met you when we joined Bethlehem Baptist Church. You and Deacon Butler welcomed us into your home and family with loving arms. We had great times talking with you both, enjoying vacations, dinners and lunches together. I will always cherish the memories of being your presence. You always had us laughing and told us the truth whether we liked it or not. I thank you for that.
Avon, you are a special lady. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Ma Butler. You loved and cared for her until the end. She always said she loved you and didn’t know where she would be without you taking care of her. Hold onto your wonderful memories, I know you have many.
Rest on Ma Butler and give Dea. a big hug from us..
Louis and Belinda
Grandma Minnie you been in my life for half my life and I feel it still wasn’t enough. The time, the laughter cutting jokes on folks is what I will truly miss the most. I’m going to miss you asking me every time you saw me ” What you using on your skin baby”. “You know you just the prettiest I done seen in a awhile.” My response was always I want my skin to look like yours when I get older. You were there for my Nina and you were there for me. I’m glad we got to show out and laugh right before you transitioned. Going to miss you asking me to cook your turkey this year, showing up with your flowers and smell goods for your birthday and making you feel special during Christmas. Singing carols, decorating and cooking til the sun sets. You were truly loved and will forever will be missed.

Grandma these past 8 years have been filled with love and laughter. Thank you for being a Grandma to be. I will always remember you for being just you, a straight shooter a pioneer of your time and full of love. You told me once before that all things worked together for good. I know you happy your reunited with “Ole Dear”. You fought the good fight and I know you hearing “Well done thy good and faithful servant” I love you forever Grandma Minnie !
Aunt Minnie has always been a formidable woman! A woman of class and strength! A Spiritual woman! She instructed me earlier in life to plan for my retirement years as I started my career. I adhered to her advice and am well satisfied. She taught me how to make “Million Dollar” pies and how to always be a good hostess to house guests! She was a great Mother to Valencia (Val) and Keith; and an awesome grandmother to her grandchildren, especially after the early deaths of her children! She loved my Uncle JW, and was loving to the family. She was my “sidekick” to a lot of events after I retired and before her health failed her. All I know is that Aunt Minnie lived a full life on her own terms! You were loved by me Aunt Minnie! Rest In Pace, Auntie!
My most funniest memory of Aunt Minnie saying was don’t let my knee highs fall down,because you will be in trouble. My heart goes out to the family and May God continue to bless you all. Well done Avon. You truly took care of her🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Grandma words can’t express how I feel right now but my heart is heavy. You were my friend, my traveling partner and shoulder to cry on.
As you transitioned on Monday I wasn’t ready to let go but the Lord said Avon you have taken care of Minnie Louise Sanders Butler long enough and I have prepared a better place for her.
Grandma I love you and everything I have done for you and with you I would do it again.
Give granddad a hug for me.
Until we meet again love your Bonus granddaughter and caregiver.
