Ilene Thompson Obituary

Ilene E. Thompson, 70, of Butler passed away and went to Heaven on Sunday to be with her husband, Fritz, and her parents.
Born Sept. 27, 1947, in Butler, she was the daughter of Daniel P. Heasley and Edna A. Shrader Heasley.
Ilene graduated from Knoch High School in 1965 and was retired from Saxony Health Center where she worked as a housekeeper for many years.
Our mom was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, who tried her best to help anyone she could in any way. She enjoyed her flower gardening and bird watching with her four-legged granddaughter, Zoe, and taking care of her other four-legged grandchildren. They all loved her so much, as well.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Fredrick Thompson.
