Emily Butler Obituary
Jane and her husband of 51 years, Steven Monette Butler, moved to Fredericksburg in August of this year. If you'd had the chance to get to know "Miss Jane," Fredericksburg, you would have loved her. She would have charmed you with stories of being an Army wife to a career soldier of 30 years, and bragged about her two daughters, two sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. You would have heard about how much she loved Jesus, and how much He loves you. And she would have single-handedly boosted the local economy with visits to your shops for something pretty to wear, something new to decorate the house, or something to spoil the grandkids with.
Jane is survived by her adoring husband, Steve; daughter Heather Davis, son-in-law Rob Davis, and their two children Ryan and Sydney, who all live in Fredericksburg; daughter Dawn Mundy, son-in-law Rick Mundy, and their two children Asia and Harper, who all live in the Kansas City area; her cousin Glen R. Johnson of Macon, GA, and countless spiritual family members all over the country whom she counseled, mentored, taught, loved, and poured her heart and love of the Lord into. She truly demonstrated in the flesh what it means to be a Proverbs 31 woman.
Her funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 5 at Oak Hills Church, Fredericksburg.

I just learned of Jane's transition from this realm. Although I was only in Kansas for a few years, I too was blessed to experience this beautiful woman of God's grace, love, joy, and even her sense of humor. You could not be in her presence without hearing about the love of God. My life is better because of her. My heartfelt condolences to Steve (my Sunday School teacher) and the family. Take comfort in knowing that she is in the presence of the King. God bless you all.

What a wonderful lady Jane was, and now she is gone. She spoke openly and freely about God and His love, her smile radiated joy that said it is not just for show, I really experience it. When she talked about her trips to hospital, it was not an account of her aches and sufferings it was always a triumph over them. Her expression of gratitude was sincere, almost childlike; it induced in a recipient not a sense of self-satisfaction, but rather a desire to be better, to do more.
Now Jane is gone But is she really? Her concept that to serve and to love one another is a privilege and not an obligation will remain with us. Jane taught us how to LIVE life.
Our heartfelt condolences to wonderful friend Steven and the family.

Jane will forever be a Georgia Peach to me! She overflowed with lovingkindness and wisdom. I loved helping decorate her house for Christmas and her excitement about Jesus's birthday celebration always rubbed off on me. She is a classy lady that knew how to shop and how to share. Love you Jane. So thankful you are with our Savior. Oh the sights you must be seeing!
Until we meet again,

I am truly saddened to hear of Miss Jane's passing. I was fortunate to have gotten to know her and Steve through my job. She was full of southern charm and I loved getting to visit with her when I got the chance. Heaven is rejoicing! My prayers and positive thoughts are with Steve and the whole family. May you find comfort in God during this time.
