Mrs. Butcher was born June 20, 1928 to the late Victoria Smith and Robert William Fleming. Mrs. Butcher was a longtime member of Beck’s Baptist church.

Our mother, grandmother and great grandmother enjoyed working puzzles, Scrabble, reading, and most of all game night with her family. She was always ready to travel to Cherokee and the beach. Her favorite trips were to Hawaii and the family cruise to Mexico.
