Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Michelina (Buteau) Hurd, 83, passed away on Friday, September 20, 2024. She was born to the late Joseph and Dorothy Buteau on May 5, 1941, in Greenfield, MA. Mykie graduated from Greenfield High School, Class of 1959.

She married her late husband, Tom Hurd, on August 16, 1975.

Mykie was an administrative assistant at Hayer, Shea, and Curtiss in Greenfield. Mykie's and her husband's passion was their catholic faith and the Right to Life movement. She was a devout St. Mary's Catholic Church member and attended daily Mass despite her physical limitations. Mykie was a perpetual volunteer for many church/Knights of Columbus charitable events and a church office volunteer. She was a member of the Angels of the Knights, library committee, altar ministry, and Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Mykie never complained about her significant health issues. She was a model for sincerity, kindness, caring, dedication, and inner strength. She provided six years of 24/7 loving care for her mom after her stroke. The family is very thankful for the tremendous support of friends, neighbors, family, parishioners, and Knights of Columbus members for their help after Tom's passing. Additionally, the family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated help of friends during her sudden health decline before her passing.

In addition to her husband, Mykie was preceded in death by her siblings, Thomas, Stephen, Bernard, and Veronica Tutunjian.

She is survived by her two brothers, Anthony Buteau (Elizabeth) of Manchester, NH, and  Gregory Buteau (Beatrice) of Cherry Valley, MA; her three brothers-in-law, James (Karen) of Homer, AK, John (Jill) of Fort Wayne, IN, and Paul (Linda) of Cape May, NJ; a sister-in-law, Ann Spurrier of Arvada, CO; and cousins, nieces, and nephews.
