Mrs.  Brooke Butts

BUTTS - Mrs. Brooke Rene Vanderlinde Butts aged 34 of Dorr went to be with our Lord in heaven after a battle with Wilson's Disease Thursday, February 11, 2016. She battled long and hard after this genetic disease damaged her liver and went undiagnosed until last fall. Two lives were saved because of her generous kidney donations. She was preceded in death by her cousin Carrie Anne De Jongh last June. Surviving are her husband of 10 years, Joel Butts; children, Kylien Rene, 9 and Leah Jade, 3; mother and father, Denise and Ted Vanderlinde; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Cheri and Greg Butts; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Tricia and Charles Figueroa, Timothy and Louise Nunn, Jamie and Jeremy Berens; 11 nieces and nephews that she loved deeply. Brooke was a genuine, kind, fun loving woman. She had a soft spot in her heart for all God's creatures. She had a flair for adventure in life and loved camping. If you were lucky enough to meet her you had a loving friend for life. We will all miss her courageous smile and love for life. A memorial service and celebration of Brooke's life will be held at 11 AM Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at Pathway Church, 8350 Byron Center Ave SW., Byron Center. Her family will greet relatives and friends Tuesday from 5 to 8 PM at Pathway Church in Byron Center. The family would appreciate donations for expenses in lieu of flowers.
