She then went on to Dixie Jr. College in St. George, Utah and graduated 1972. She also studied one year at Southern Utah University before getting married and starting a family.
Moms greatest joy in life was her beautiful grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was without a doubt their biggest fan. Always making a point to be at all school and sporting activities. Mom was a woman of many talents, from cooking to sewing, ceramics and gardening. She could take any dead plant and in a matter of weeks she would have it looking beautiful. She had a gift for making everything fun. She would turn ordinary throw away items into fun, exciting things. Growing up all our friends quickly became family and never hesitated to turn to mom because she was always there with a smile and a hug that would simply melt away any burden. Moms door was always open taking in many as her own. She never complained how hard she worked or however many mouths she had to feed. All she ever wanted was for everyone to feel loved and important. Her love was unconditional which is the reason everyone knew her as just “Mom“.
Mom was diagnosed on September 1st, 2011 with Cancer. She received two treatments of Chemo and with no success her Dr’s released her to hospice care on October 14th, 2011. She fought all the way through till the last seconds of her life. We couldn’t be more proud to say Nancy Ann Butters was our mom. Mom was our only constant. She was always there smiling through tears because everything in life overflowed her heart with happiness!! She was always the first we called in good and bad times. Mom you will be greatly missed. Your love and compassion has strengthened our souls. It is our honor to have you as our mom and its our privilege to pass on your love and compassion to all we come in contact with.
