When one who is taken and passes on to spend eternity with Jesus Christ, their Lord and Savior, we, who so loved them, are left behind to deal with that void. The realization that never again will we hear that voice, feel their touch, enjoy their company, listen to their complaints or share the conversations and expressions of their life on a daily basis or through an effortless phone call.

It is said that time heals all wounds and that may be, yet the scars will remain never to fully dissolve and relinquish their tissue.

On the morning of Jan. 15, 2017, Louis Jean Butorac passed away in her sleep in the presence of her daughter, Nancy Duncan, and granddaughter, Angela Sosa, at the age of 91. Members of her congregation had come earlier to pray with her and sing for her while family member called with expressions of love and gratitude. She leaves behind a younger sister, Jackie Hintz; four children; nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; 19 nieces and nephews and a legacy of unwavering love and moral clarity.

A portion of her ashes will be taken to Israel and scattered. Rest in Peace … Jean.

Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen.
