Dorothy ("Dottie") J. Butler (nee Schmidt and formerly Bolinsky) of Cherry Hill, New Jersey died on October 5, 2025 at the age 83. Dottie was born in Philadelphia and raised in Pennsauken.

As a lifelong animal lover, in the 70's Dottie was a co-owner of a dog boarding kennel in Voorhees New Jersey. Dottie enjoyed the beach and being near the ocean, spending many summers on her boat, "Slow Poke," or her parent's boat, "Witchcraft," docked in Morrison's Marina on Long Beach Island and later in life spending her summers on land in Brigantine New Jersey. Dottie was interested in politics and served as a Camden County Committee member for the Cherry Hill Republican Party.
