An Episcopal Tribute to Mother Bernice Butler

โ€œPrecious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.โ€ โ€“ Psalm 116:15

On behalf of the clergy, leadership, and people of God whom I serve, I extend this tribute in honor of Mother Bernice Butler, a matriarch whose life reflected the holiness, strength, and steadfast faith of the early saints.

Mother Butler was more than a grandmother and beloved matriarchโ€”she was a pillar in Zion, a woman of unshakable prayer, unwavering faith, and unrelenting devotion to Christ and His Church. She lived not only with conviction but with compassion, embodying the words of the Apostle Paul: โ€œI have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.โ€ (2 Timothy 4:7)

Her life was a testimony, her words were seasoned with wisdom, and her presence brought joy, light, and strength to all who encountered her. Today we give thanks for her witness and for the seeds she has sown in her family, the church, and the Kingdom of God.

Though she has laid down her earthly labor, we rejoice that she now rests in the nearer presence of the Lord. Her legacy of faith will live on through her children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.

Well done, good and faithful servant. May her memory be eternal.

Lovingly submitted,
The Right Reverend D. A. Sherron
Senior Pastor, Global Fire Church
Presiding Bishop, Global Alliance Network
