The Bakersfield Californian 
Mary (Catherine) Butler
Nov. 23, 1912 - Apr. 28, 2005

Catherine Butler was born Mary Catherine Nelson in Palmyra, Missouri. Her 
mother was Amanda Elizabeth Young, married to Bertram Louis Nelson. She grew 
up in Chico, California and married Henry Davis Butler. Henry was a school 
teacher and later Superintendent of Schools in Delano. When he died of a heart 
attack in 1953, she became a school teacher at Fremont Elementary School, 
where she taught for 26 years while raising her two children, Sandra and 
Davis. After she retired, she moved to Zephyr Cove at Lake Tahoe, Nevada and 
later to Carson City, Nevada. She lived life to its fullest, and enjoyed 
traveling, shopping, game shows, and reunions with family and friends. She 
loved the outdoors and even went backpacking with her son and his family when 
in her 70s. She was alert and full of energy to the end.

Her brother, Vivian Nelson preceded her in death. Her longtime companion, Fred 
Cooper of Carson City, NV; her daughter, Sandra Butler of Carson City, NV; her 
son, Davis Butler of Santa Maria, CA and his wife, Renate Fuchs-Butler, 
formerly from Schweinfurt, Germany; her granddaughter, Kerstin Butler of 
Berlin, Germany; and many close relatives and friends survive her.
