Helen Leone Scott Butler

Helen Leone Scott Butler fought a courageous battle with breast cancer, but an even more difficult struggle was leaving the side of her beloved husband on January 30, 2009. Helen was born on June 9, 1932 and raised in Salt Lake City by her loving parents Wallace Mar and Ada Hinckley Scott. She met the love of her life, M. Duane Butler, at a church social, and they were married on August 4, 1951. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on September 19, 1952.
Helen and Duane started their own business and in the later years Helen became President of W. B. Enterprises - Get Mugged. She advertised live on K-Talk Radio and became affectionately known as "The Mug Lady", which brought her much happiness, as well as working with her family decorating plates and mugs with business logos.
Helen attended the University of Utah and studied speech and arts. She became a very successful watercolorist and received many awards for her paintings. She served in many positions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and her last calling was a coordinator/greeter for the Highland Cove 15th Branch. Her favorite callings were serving the youth along side her husband. She loved to play bridge every month with her close friends and she cherished the vacations with family and friends on their houseboat at Lake Powell.
Helen is survived by her loving husband, Duane; two sons and one daughter: Dennis Butler, David (Ann) Butler, Delee (Kelly) Skeen; ten grandchildren: Cody, Catherine, Scott (MacKenzie), Nathan, Brenon, Emily, Matthew, Tahnee (Lorrin), Travis and Tiana. Three great grandchildren: Kyler, Porter, and Odin. Helen is preceded in death by her granddaughter Becky Butler.
Our family would like to thank Dr. Gregory Litton and his staff at Utah Cancer Specialists and Community Nursing Services for the loving care shown to our mother in her time of need.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon on Tuesday February 3, 2009 at the temporary building for the Winder 10th Ward at 3487 South 1300 East. Friends may call 10:00 to 11:30 am at the church prior to services. Interment, Murray City Cemetery, 5600 South Vine Street.
