Glenna Lee Butts, 82, of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her family on Thursday, January 28, 2021.

Born June 23, 1938 at Neola, WV, Glenna was a daughter of the late Dennis Ardoff and Edith Blackburn Dean.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Emmett Donald "Don" Butts, Sr. in 2004; and two brothers, Bobby A. Dean and Leonard C. Judy.

Glenna was retired from the Greenbrier Hotel where she worked for 39 years. Over the years, she worked at the Golf and Tennis Club, the Employees Cafeteria, the Old White Club, and the Tavern Room.

Glenna was a strong, independent woman who loved her family and was a loyal friend. She may have been small in stature, but she was feisty. She always spoke her mind and was never one to beat around the bush.

Survivors include her daughter, Tammy (Chuck) Whitman and grandson, Joseph Whitman, both of White Sulphur Springs; great-grandchildren, Haley Whitman and companion, Matt Steele of Frankford, WV; Salem Whitman of Georgia, and Isaac Whitman; sisters, Betty McDowell of Ronceverte, WV, Patricia Hoke, and Ann Rogers, both of White Sulphur Springs, WV; sister-in-law, Anne Dean of Covington, VA; Don's children Donald Butts Jr., Michael Butts, Brian Butts, and Jennifer Butts; several nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many cousins.

There will be no formal visitation. A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at Greenbrier Memorial Gardens in Lewisburg, WV, with Pastor Lowell O'Dell officiating.

In keeping with the current Covid-19 pandemic guidelines, the family asks that you wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times while attending the service.

Pallbearers will be Wayne Beitzel, Chester Sharp, Joseph Whitman, Greg McMillion, Shane Melara, and Matthew Steele. Honorary Pallbearers will be David McDowell, Mark McDowell, Jack Dean, and Chuck Judy.

The family is appreciative of the care that was given to Glenna by Home Health Care Plus and Kanawha Hospice Care.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial tributes take the form of contributions to Mennonite Disaster Services, at 583 Airport Road, Lititz, PA 17543.
