Evelyn Lorraine Butcher, 91, of Rainier, passed into the arms of her loving savior on Aug. 22, 2012, surrounded by family and dear friends at the Hospice Care Center in Longview.
Evelyn was born Dec. 21, 1920, to John and Margaret Maxwell in St. John, N.D. She graduated from business school and on Dec. 30, 1945, she married the Rev. Leonard J. Butcher. They moved to the Rainier area, where they ministered to the Rainier Assembly of God church for 28 years until his death in 1985. Evelyn remained an active member of the church until her health declined. In 2008, she was awarded recognition as pastor emeritus of the church where she had been a member for more than 50 years. She loved and was loved by so many.
Evelyn and Leonard were blessed with five children. She was preceded in death by her son, Timothy; her husband, Leonard; brother Archie Maxwell; and her beloved granddaughter, Tiara Fleetwood.
Survivors include sons Phil Butcher (Roberta O’Donoghue) of Rainier and John (Judy) Butcher of Little Chute, Wisc.; daughters Leila (Ed) Fallstone of Ocean Park and Carolyn (Ron) Fleetwood of Queen Creek, Ariz.; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and her brother, Jim Maxwell of Clearfield, Utah.
The family wishes to express deep gratitude to Leslie O’Donoghue, Cynthia Tripp, Ethel Lee and Ramona Paddock, who provided Evelyn with so much love and care. We also thank the hospice nurses and bathers for their extraordinary care.
Evelyn’s beloved dog, Chuey the Chihuahua, was her constant companion for the past three years. He was a great therapy dog and gave her much comfort and pleasure.
A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m., Sept. 15 at Rainier Assembly of God with Pastor Gary Siegenthaler officiating.
Memorial contributions can be made to Community Home Health & Hospice.
Columbia Funeral Service is in charge.
