January 09, 2024

I’m sending this letter from Heaven, Just to tell you I’m doing alright… I’m so sorry for the pain you’re all feeling, But I really did put up a fight… My God had different intentions, There are things that He wants me to do… But always know deep within your hearts, I’ll always be there with you… My family and friends are amazing, I still feel your love here with me… You really wouldn’t feel so sad, If you could see what I can see… Please look after each other, Have laughs now and then in my name… Always remember I love you, God bless till me meet again…

Frances G. Butler, 90, of Lititz, was welcomed into the gates of Heaven, January 9, 2024. Born on the family farm in Reinholds, she was the daughter of the late Ray and Estella (Steinmetz) Gettle.

Frances enjoyed collecting stuffed animals including cows and elephants. She enjoyed needlepoint and scrapbooking, being outdoors and camping. Her greatest love was taking care of people. She dedicated herself to caring for others, spending over 25 years as a CNA and Orthopedic Tech.

She is survived by her children: Harvey M. Butler, Kevin R. Butler, and Sharon E. Moody; grandchildren, Jason Velazquez, Christina Walker, and Michael Smrekar; and great granddaughters, Chloe Walker, and Nicole Butler. She was preceded in passing by her son, Alden R. Butler.

Services will be private at the convenience of the family. Interment will take place at Yocum Cemetery in Grill, PA.
