Doreen "Dodie" Butler

Doreen "Dodie" Butler gained her wings and went home to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 27, 2018.  She was born in Kettering, England to Harry and Rose Pope who preceded her in death.
She was a shining light in the world that never met a stranger. She was generous beyond measure and always willing to lend a hand, listening ear or shoulder to cry on.
She spent her time cultivating many lasting friendships, being a strong and faithful mother to her children, and a devoted Nannie to her four grandchildren. She loved Prince, music, and gardening, and lived life with exuberance and optimism. She passionately volunteered her time at the Hoke Literacy Council, Mayte's Rescue and with many hospice patients over the years.
She is survived by her two children, Tara and Corey; her son-in-law, Christopher Murdock; her four grandchildren, Jade, Hannah, Abby and Ethan; her brothers, Byron, Wyndam, Anthony, and Stewart; her sister, Patricia; and her many adopted families and friends.
