Obituary

Rosemarie Butler (aka Butter and Squeri), 90, of Broomall, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), passed away on Sunday, May 5th, 2024, after a long struggle with Alzheimers.

Rose was born in Philadelphia on June 5th, 1934 to the late Mary and Wendell Butter, and graduated from Little Flower High School (class of 1952).  Rose earned her degrees from Temple and Drexel in the field of education.  Little Flower and PSPCA, and helping others, meant much to Rose.

The past ninety years have brought wonders to a girl who grew up in a working class, German neighborhood.  She had taught, wrote stories, taken photos and was a wonderful mother to her adopted son, Nick (and many cats over the years).  Rose loved to read to children, and spent years helping at Saint Denis in Havertown, Pennsylvania.  She loved to travel, bake, and garden.  It was clear to all that Rose was so creative and much more!

Lovingly, Rose was survived by her son, Nicholas L. Squeri, 45.

Friends and family are invited to gather at Resurrection of Our Lord Church, 2000 Shelmire Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19152 on Thursday, May 16th, 2024 at 9:30; a Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30, and immediately following we will escort Rose to her final resting place at Sunset Memorial Park, 333 West County Line Road, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania 19006.
