Janetta was member of the Village Creek Church of Christ. Complementing her spiritual life, Janetta's love for her community was shown through her active involvement in the EHC club in Goobertown.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Erma McLaughlin; and her loving husband, James Nelson Butler.

Janetta is survived by her son, Jamie Butler (Jackie) of Brookland, AR; daughter, Dawn Butler (Danny Arnold) of Ashflat, AR; sisters, Judy Clayton and June Rushing; and grandchildren, Christopher Butler and Justin Butler.
