Butler and Vivian Pauline (Greer) Butler. Juanette was a homemaker and well known for her wonderful cooking.

She was also an Avon Representative, an Amway Distributor and worked at Highlights Photography Studio. She was a founding member of Revival Tabernacle Church and served as Sunday School Secretary for 50 years. She was one of the most caring women, making several phone calls each day checking on people she knew were sick or experiencing problems. Hers was a life of service to others. She was happiest, though, when she had her entire family around her.
She is survived by four sons, Jim (Carol), Bob (Randy), Greg (Nadine) and Ken (Dawn); one sister, Sharon Lawson (Marty), one brother, Rick Butler (Cheryl), sister-in-law, Mary Ella Eden, brother-in-law, Jim Metz; 16 grandchildren, Shawna, Kari, Shelah, Jared, Shane, Christopher, Dave, Justin, Brandon, Leslie, Aaron, Andrew, Quintin, Travis, Beth, Casey; 26 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Billy D. Eden, and four sisters, Jo Dean Butler, Glenda Burgoyne, Yvonne Butler and Shirley Metz.
