Peggy Buttars

Peggy was born in San Diego, California (her father was in the Navy) and raised in Carlin, Nevada where she attended elementary and High School. Peggy was in the school Band and played Basketball and Volleyball. She loved to read and enjoyed school! She was her class salutatorian, always taking her studies seriously. She went to Northern Nevada Community College where she was class VP and active in college activities while working part time. She went to work for Carlin Gold/Newmont in computer services and later worked at Cortez Gold / Placer Dome. She had been working with Rodd & Marcus at ICM Solutions here in Phoenix.

Peggy was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served as Relief Society President, Counselor, and taught Gospel Doctrine. She enjoyed coaching drill team, soccer, t-ball, and basketball; was very busy with Scouts, instructing classes (Kickboxing, Yoga, Body Pump, Body Step, & Body Combat) and personal training. She loved working with people to help them reach their personal goals. She lived her life setting high standards for herself and at home for her children and enjoyed traveling and seeing friends. She was generally quiet and busy behind the scenes getting things done, she did not like being in the spotlight!

Peggy is survived by her husband Milton Roger “Rodd” Buttars and children Dustin (Lesley) Buttars, Marcus (Stephanie) Buttars, Josilynn Josie Buttars, Lucas Koehl Buttars, Adrian Edmonds and 4 grandchildren (Rachelle, Micah, Myles, and Emma).
