Billie Whayne Butler

Billie Whayne Butler, 92, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025. Billie was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. She was a member of Forest View United Baptist Church where she attended regularly. Billie was a great Christian woman that lead by example. She loved teaching Sunday School, playing her piano, helping and encouraging others and being with family and friends. A lifelong learner, Billie found joy in exploring new worlds through the pages of books. In her quiet moments, she could be found curled up with a good book and her chihuahua. Billie was a constant source of knowledge and guidance, always ready to discuss her favorite literature, share a favorite passage or Bible verse. Her love for literature was only surpassed by her love for her family.
