Helen was born on June 4, 1931 to Bertram and Nellie Taylor. She graduated from the General Hospital School of Nursing in 1952, and with Douglas, operated Parkdale Pharmacy for over 50 years. Together they enjoyed international travel, and summers at their Country Place in Upper Gullies.

Leaving to mourn husband H. Douglas Butt; son David (Patricia Kavanagh), Creston, BC; daughter Margaret (Joe Earles), St. John’s, NL; son Jonathan (Joanna Copeland), Cranbrook, BC; granddaughter Charlotte, Cranbrook, BC; brother Robert (Sylvia), Mt. Pearl, NL; and Samantha Ward. Also leaving to mourn are nieces, nephews and a wide circle of friends including the Bridge Girls and friends at the Kirk.
Helen lived her last year at Tiffany Village with many friends new and old; staff became family, and we always felt Mom was well cared for in every way. Thanks also to Dr. Andrew Hutton and Dr. Amanda Coleman.
A private visitation and funeral service will be held.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Health Care Foundation healthcarefoundation.ca/ or to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, St. John’s.
