Donna D. Butler

Donna was born on September 21, 1936 to Marion Schaal and George Patton in Boise, ID. After graduating from Sunnyside High School in 1954, she and Bob wed, going on to have 4 boys; Rocky, David, Alan and Michael.

In 1972 Donna went on to study nursing and became an LPN. She spent many years caring for patients in several nursing homes across the state.

Donna was known as a caring and supportive mother and wife. Whether that was attending her son’s sporting events or musical performances, volunteering as a Den Mother, or keeping a hot meal on the table while Bob was working, she made it her mission to bring joy to the lives of her family.

Donna was a dedicated yard sale shopper, and when she wasn’t filling her home with knick-knacks and cranberry glass, she could be found in her kitchen canning or traveling with Bob and their Buckhorn friends. We will miss her greatly.

Donna was predeceased by her parents and siblings and her grandson Nick. She is survived by her husband Bob, sons Rocky (Robin), David, Alan (Lori), and Michael (Johnna), half-brother Eugene Johnson (Marcia), nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
