Janie was born June 13, 1936 in Clarendon to Maclin Robert & Jackie Emerson Butler. She married Ralph Hill on February 29, 1952 in Clovis, New Mexico. She worked for many years as a grocery clerk for Clifford’s Grocery Store and Lowe’s Grocery Store. She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, a friend, a companion, and to anyone who crossed her path, She was an example of how we are to live in and move through this world. One would be hard pressed to recall a nasty word or a bad mood or even a dirty look. In fact, it would be impossible to remember a moment when she was not full up with love, and hope, and forgiveness. Always ready with a smile and kind words, she lived everyday with acceptance and complete understanding for those she loved. And she loved everyone she knew-without condition. Her heart was large enough to encompass the world and despite her short stature and her small voice, she held in her a quiet and unyielding strength of love, that radiated in a blinding light from her heart and from her soul. We know that muscle can move walls but if the world and all of it’s people had in them her capacity for love, we could move mountains. Among the list of survivors, one must also include her friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and anyone who, if only for a moment, was lucky enough to be in the presence of true Grace.
