Shreveport, LA - Jennifer Butler was granted her angel wings on January 17, 2019. She was born September 17, 1969 in Bossier City, LA. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Jen had touched during her beautiful life.
Jen attended CBARC, Shreve Island Elementary, and Lakeshore and was also a member of the Louisiana Special Olympics and a cheerleader for the Louisiana Rebel All-Star's Dream Team. Jen gave us all such courage and hope. She kept us laughing, loved disco music, and had a collection of more than a thousand CDs and movies. She watched her favorite, The Blind Side, too many times to count. She loved the holidays, especially her birthday.
Jen is preceded in death by her grandparents, Janie Carpenter, James Butler, and Bill Courtney. She is survived by her parents, Danny and Nancy Butler; brother and sister-in-law, Jeffrey and Melissa Butler; nieces, Madison and Mia; grandmother, Ramona Butler; aunt, Pam (Jamie) Ragsdale; uncle, Jim (Donna) Courtney; and numerous cousins.
Graveside services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, January 20, 2019 at Forest Park West Cemetery. Visitation will be held at Rose-Neath Southside from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. prior to the graveside service. Honoring Jen as pallbearers will be Jeff Butler, Nick Ragsdale, Casey Ragsdale, Jim Courtney, Mike Brock, Michael Brock, and Daniel Love.
Special love and thanks to Jen's longtime caregiver, Kay Young and her family and to the Southern Care Hospice for their support and care.
