Crystal Dawn Butcher

Crystal Dawn Butcher, age 50, of Pittsboro, went home to be with the Lord, after a 3-year battle with Alzheimer's, Saturday, April 27th, 2024, peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. She left behind a Mommy and Daddy who are devastated by the loss of their precious little baby.

Crystal was born in Logan County, West Virginia on September 21st, 1973, to the late Russell Butcher, Jr., and Lydiafaye Hughes Butcher.

She and her family moved to Pittsboro, North Carolina in 1986, which became her forever home. She is a 1994 Northwood graduate and attended CCCC. Crystal loved the Lord. She devoted much of her life to her Bible studies, singing in church & doing volunteer work, including Meals on Wheels & the Backpack program. She loved spending time with her Daddy, going to church, singing in church, & saying grace for family gatherings. Some of Crystals favorite things to do were going on vacation to the beach and walking to the pier at night to get ice cream & going to the mountains and Dollywood with her sisters. She loved dancing, listening to music, being a TarHeel, going shopping and bowling, getting her hair done every Friday at The Salon, with her favorite stylist, Leigh, taking walks, a lot of them to the mailbox, going on long car rides (especially to McDonalds for a hot cheeseburger, fries & a vanilla ice cream or a cherry slushy). She loved the holidays and making birthday cards for her family, listening to Dolly Parton and Joyce Meyer. Crystal Dawn never met a stranger, she made a friend out of everyone and loved carrying on conversations, she always made sure to let everyone know, "God Loves You."

She is proceeded in death by her sister, April Faye Fogt, her brother, Ricky Joe Butcher, nephew, Jackie Russell Davis, her Grandma Ruth & Aunt Harlena, and her boyfriend, Craig Brown.
Surviving relatives include her mommy and daddy, Connie and Harlen Adkins, Jr., and siblings, Tara (Joey) Bass, Traci (Robert) McNeill, Jimmy (Debbie) Butcher and family, Debra (Ralph) Adkins and family, Sabrina (Butch) Varney and family, Joy (Paul) Cook and family, Rusty Butcher and family, Barbara Young and family, and Melissa Butcher and family. Nieces and nephews include Harlen and Hannah Fogt, Jacee (Dexter) Jarmon, Jacob and Savanna Bass, Stevenson (Alyssa) McNeill, Logan, Zander, Bo McNeill and a host of family and friends. The family will forever be grateful to her friend & caregiver, Mandy Boone. Crystal loved all of her family, as she would say, "ALL MY HEART!!!"

The family has chosen not to have any services, but there will be a celebration of life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for memorial contributions to be made in Crystal's memory to the Alzheimer's Association PO Box 96011 Washington, DC 20090-6011.
