It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Beverly Jane (Rummel) Butterworth, 81, a woman whose life was dedicated to her family and friends.
Born on July 10, 1943 to the late Sylvester and Ethel Belle (Thompson) Rummel, Bev leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength and a spirit that touched every life she encountered.
Bev was a devoted mother, a cherished wife, “the cool aunt,” and a true friend to all who knew her.
She is survived by three children: Tina Lorelli and husband Ernie, of Indiana; Tricia Bush and husband Chris, of Erie; Brad Butterworth and wife Christen, of Indiana; three sisters: Louise Bowman, Gerry Gamble and husband Bud, and Kay Markovich; two sisters-in-law: Karol Rummel and Mary Rummel; six grandchildren: Collin Butterworth and wife Jill, Adam Edmonds and wife Alicia, Sarah Mencia and husband Nate, Brooke Butterworth, Samantha Butterworth and Irena Bush; two great-grandchildren: Selena Mencia and Dallas Butterworth; numerous deeply loved nieces and nephews and the Butterworth family (Ohio).
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ken Butterworth; sister, Cheryl Hofmann and husband John Hofmann; two brothers, Ed Rummel and Ron Rummel; brothers-in-law, Nick Markovich and Orrie Bowman; father and mother-in-law, Chris and Ruby Butterworth; brother-in-law, Denny Butterworth; and a longtime friend, Kay Sadowski.
A celebration of life will be announced at a future date for all family and friends. Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Funeral Home, 36 N 7th Street, Indiana, has been entrusted with the arrangements.
The family would like to extend deep appreciation for the exceptional care given by her primary care physician and the many wonderful people at her care facility.
