A woman born and raised in Butler has passed away at the age of 109.
Dorothy Jordan was born in 1909 in Butler. She was a charter member of the Fundamental Baptist Church on Jefferson Street in the city of Butler, which is now known as the New Testament Baptist Church on North Duffy Road in Center Township. She taught Sunday school for over 25 years and was a loving wife, mother and homemaker.
“She gave all the credit to the Lord,” Ronald Jordan, Dorothy’s son, said Monday.
According to her son, Dorothy still lived in the Butler area until about eight years ago.
“She’s been in Ohio since she was 101 at an assisted living facility and she’d been doing real good up until the last, probably six months or so,” he said.
Dorothy Jordan died on Friday. She will be laid to rest on Wednesday following a funeral service at the Young Funeral Home in Butler.
