Predeceased by her parents: Arthur and Jessie (nee Dawe) White; her husband Frederick Butt (1976) and her second husband Lamont Parsons (2002). Leaving to mourn and cherish the many wonderful memories of her life with us; her daughter Judy Norris (David) in St. John’s and her son Chris Butt (Kathy Harrigan), in Dartmouth NS; her step-daughters: Barbara Clancy (Chris) in St. John’s and Brenda Bjerkseth (Philip) in Pickering ON, her grandchildren: Matthew Norris (Francesca), Stephen Norris (Sharon), Jessica Norris (Chris Hedges), Alex Butt (Cailin Macdonald), Karen Butt (Gordon Paterson), Elizabeth Bjerkseth, and Allison Bjerkseth (Andrew Kennedy) and 8 great-grandchildren, along with the staff and her many friends at Tiffany Village, and her friends and colleagues at RBC Dominion Securities in St. John’s. She was a force in any conversation and had a terrific sense of humor. She had a brilliant flair for the stock market, she was a tireless gardener, a wicked scrabble player, a dance floor magnet, and a serious threat to the lobster population. A special thank you to the staff at Tiffany Village for their compassionate care, support and friendship over the years. At Babs’ request, cremation has occurred, and a memorial service and celebration of her life will be scheduled for a later date.
