Butler, who serves on the board of the Friends of Fairfield Public Library, has supported the library for more than a decade. Her twice-yearly fashion shows have raised thousands of dollars for the library, particularly for its teen department, where a plaque recognizes her contributions.

Butler operates Jennifer Butler Design, a fashion studio that has been part of the Fairfield community for more than 25 years. Her designs have been worn at weddings, social gatherings and other events. Organizers describe the brand as "Fashion — Made in Fairfield."
