Kathleen M. Butcher. 84, touched the hearts of those around her with her warmth and caring nature passed away on December 9, 2025. She was born on November 8, 1941 the daughter of the late Frederick and Virginia Parks.

A passion that brought her joy was putting together jigsaw puzzles. Kathleen was always ready for a game of poker with family and friends. She always loved having her family around the dinner table sharing laughs and her homemade spaghetti with her "famous" sauce.

She had many accomplishments but her greatest was her love of her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband of 46 years, Roy D. Butcher Sr.; siblings Carol Oziomek, Michael Parks, Virginia Starcher, John Parks, Frederick Parks, and Patrick Parks; and son John Michael Butcher.

Kathleen is survived by her loving family, children Melissa Maerean, Roy Dean (Cathy) Butcher Jr., Marsha (Clint Murray) Warner, and Donald Butcher; grandchildren Tabatha, Whitney, Ashley, Kayla, and Taylor; great-grandchildren Hailey, Montana, Brandon, Anthony, Adeline, Parker, Jack, Kinzleigh, Elena, Jet, and Jay; siblings Thomas Parks; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Per Kathleen's wishes cremation will take place.
