BUTLER, Eleanor Elizabeth
July 26, 1922 - October 5, 2013
For 63 years, the beloved wife of Dr. Kenneth R. Butler. Dear mother of Susan (Thom Ronaldson), Geoffrey (Pat) and Peter (Fabiola). Wonderful grandmother to Patrick (Doreen) and Adam Ronaldson, Jocelyn and Michael Butler, and great- grandmother to Brandon and Nathan Ronaldson.
  Eleanor was born and raised in Toronto. She graduated from Malvern Collegiate, and then embarked on a successful career at Canada Life and Lever Brothers. After marrying in 1950, Eleanor led a full and dedicated life as a supportive wife, loving mother, and life-long friend. She was active in IODE, the Museum of The History of Medicine, Book Club and her community. Eleanor was the consummate hostess, enjoying social and travel time with family and friends, and was a strong, gracious lady.
  Eleanor's life reflected her deep love for her family, and that love was returned manifold. She will be greatly missed.
  The family is grateful for the fine care provided by the staff of both the emergency and medical services of St. Michael's Hospital. Thanks also go to the caregivers from Integracare, and to Ildiko Kotroczo, who provided such wonderful support in recent months.
