Beverly Ann Butler, age 81, of McMinnville, TN passed away from this life on January 19, 2025 at the Webb House. A native of Winchester, Ohio, she was born on July 27, 1943 and worked in the banking industry in several roles that led to her employment as a manager. She enjoyed crafts and gardening, and truly had a love and passion for music of all genres – easy listening, country, classical, gospel – you name it and she was all about it. She could often be found singing and dancing with those people she cared so much about. A couple of her favorite artists were Frank Sinatra and Willie Nelson.
She was preceded in death by her parents Richard Herman Askren and Celesta Belle Wilson Askren, husband Gordon Dunn Butler, and siblings Leona, Francis, Mary Nell, Larry, and David. Beverly is survived by her children Leah Jane Perrin, Jennifer Lynn Perrin (John Prince), and Jill Layne Fregeau (Tim), Chris Butler (Polly), Keith Butler, and Dwight Butler (Dixie), siblings Wilma Breeze (Tom), Charles Askren (Virginia), Bonnie Harover (Gary), and Cheri Ayers, grandchildren Jonathan, Jessica, Jamie, Brandon, Bradley, Bailey, Tony, Tonya, Haley, Ryan, Reagan, and Bowen, 10 great-grandchildren and 1 on the way.
No local services will be conducted in McMinnville. The family will have a time of honor and remembrance at a later date.
