Mary Louise Butler

Mary Louise (Tierney) Butler, 99, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late J Alan Butler for 65 years.

Born in Barrington, RI, she was a daughter of the late William Tierney and Lillian Costello. Louise was a graduate of Edgewood Junior College.

Besides her husband and parents, she was predeceased by her brother William Tierney and her sister Laura (Tierney) Butler.

She is survived by her children, Gregory & his wife Linda, Jeffrey, Marylou, and Brian & his wife Elise Hamann. She is also survived by her eleven loving grandchildren, Allison Carmichael, Sean Carmichael and his fiancée Jessica Maynard, Brittany (Butler) MacNaillias and her husband Colm, Connor Butler, Casey Butler, Austin Butler and his fiancée Johanna DeVries, Meredith Butler and her fiancé Dillon Fisher, Cameron Butler, Brendan Butler, Brady Butler and Annie Louise Butler.
