Deborah Jean Butler (18 May 1961 - 24 Dec 2020)

Debs! Like so many, words fail me and am truly saddened. What a lady!!! Great taste in music, your lovely smile and my avid F1 buddy! You touched so many pupils, parents and staff but, that’s who you were. Always there when we needed you. What a chuckle we had. God bless you. My condolences to Les and the kids.

Dear Deb, such a lovely, funny lady. You will be missed by so so many people, not least your lovely family who you often spoke about. Sending you all lots of love. Claire xxx

Fond memories of such a lovely girl. It was a pleasure for our paths to cross at Meopham School having had childhood memories too. Love to all x

Such sad news. We have all been affected positively in some way for knowing you Debbie and that legacy will stay forever. Sending love and strength to Les, your children and all your family. Xxxx

So so sad to hear the news, such a lovely lady. Sending love to the family. Rest in peace.

Debs,words fail me, which we both know is amazing! You were a brilliant colleague in so many ways and so many different jobs, over a long time. But most of all you were a great friend. Who am I going to share my books with now? My thoughts are with Les, Tony and Kerry. Rest in peace.

Deb, you really were one of the best. My thoughts and condolences to Les and your lovely family. Xx

It has taken me so long to find the right words to say, Debs, I am already missing you so much, you and Les were an amazing support to me, putting pictures up, putting blinds up, going out for dinner and I am so sad that I won’t see you again! Kathy and I have lost our third musketeer but we will always raise a glass on our meet ups and save you a seat! We will look after Les for you! I will treasure your friendship forever you’ll always be in my heart 💕

God bless Deb, I’m struggling to find the right words. So many times I’ve stood next to you and you’ve known what I was thinking without me saying a word. Today I have no words - but I’m sure you know what I’m thinking anyway. I will remember you fondly every day when rubbing the Buddha you gave me! Julia x

Where to start mate... I’ll miss our chats and laughs and talking absolute waffle with you. Jayne Marsh and I will miss our 3rd Musketeer. You had your down days but still was so positive. I will forever look up to you. RIP you beautiful soul xxx

Dear Debs, Its been many years since I saw you and your beautiful face, you always made me smile and chuckle no matter how hard a day it had been. Sleep tight xxx

Debs you were a beautiful and kind lady, always full of fun. I send love to Les and the family and my deepest condolences. Rest in peace.xxx

Deb, it was always a joy to walk into the office to see you about some work issue or other and then end up laughing about whatever was going on. Such a kind, warm and funny person. Cannot believe we won't have those conversations again. Love and condolences to your family xx
