The funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM in the chapel of the J. W. Williams Funeral Home in Cordele, Georgia. The burial will follow at the Mount Olive Church Cemetery in Warwick, Georgia.

Mrs. Lucinda Butts Gordon was born on September 8, 1935, in Worth County, Georgia, to the union of the late Jessie L. Butts and Lillie Mae Butts.

Grounded in faith and community from an early age, Lucinda received her education at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Warwick, Georgia. She confessed Christ early in life, joined Mount Olive Baptist Church, and maintained a steadfast spirit of love and devotion throughout her days.

Lucinda found her greatest joy in the simple, treasured moments of life. She loved nothing more than casting a line while fishing, resting quietly on the front porch enjoying the breeze, and laughing along with her favorite classic television shows, especially Good Times and Sanford & Son.

On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Lord called His child home to eternal rest. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Jessie L. and Lillie Mae Butts; two children, Linda F. Butts and Charles E. Gordon; her grandson, Dontaye Gordon; and nine siblings: Bobbie Mae Feagen, Albert Butts, Sr., Louise Burgess, Jessie Butts, Mary Hudson, Curtis Butts, Robert Butts, Zonnie Butts, and Baby Honey Bee Butts.

Her sweet memory will forever be cherished by her loving daughter, Mary Butts of Cordele, Georgia; her loving grandchildren, Terry Gordon, Marcus Gordon, and Betty Butts, all of Cordele, Georgia, Dwayne Gordon of Columbus, Georgia, Shantaneka Patrick of Macon, Georgia, Fatima Hunter of Alabama, and Charles Gordon, Jr. of Vienna, Georgia; two caring sisters, Melba Carter and Jessie M. Sanders, both of Cordele, Georgia; a host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and sorrowing friends.
