Debra Jean Shaw Buttars, 58, died Jan. 11, 2013, at her home in Twin Falls after a long and heroic battle with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her almost four year fight with NHL included two bone marrow transplants, many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, and countless prayers and acts of kindness by friends, family, nurses and doctors. Through it all, her hope and her faith and testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ never wavered. She is finally free.
Debra was born in Logan, Utah, on June 1, 1954. She was the fifth child of Bill and Ann Shaw. She attended schools in Logan, graduating from Logan High School in 1972. She was a Sterling Scholar in business, attended Utah State University, and went on to get her bachelor's degree in nursing at the University of Utah. She worked as an RN at Logan Regional Hospital and Magic Valley Regional Hospital. She felt fortunate to call "motherhood" her greatest job.
Debra met her future spouse, Cleve, at Logan High School and they were married in the Logan LDS Temple on Aug. 25, 1976. They have four wonderful children, Julie, Ryan, Carrie and Tracie. In 1990, the family moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, where they started Agri-Service, a successful farm equipment dealership with nine stores in Idaho, Utah and Oregon. Debra loved going on many fun business trips to beautiful locations around the world.
Debra served in many positions with her membership in the LDS Church, including serving as Relief Society president of the Twin Falls 15th Ward. She loved teaching children and youth in the Primary and Young Women's program.
Deb loved reading the classics and many other books and could be counted on to give a very entertaining and concise verbal review on a prolific number of books. She did crossword puzzles rapidly and perfectly ... with a pen, and was a great homemaker and cook. As an excellent "calendarist" she loved organizing school schedules, shopping lists and home finances. She never had to look up a birthday and loved doing handwork and going to movies. Deb will be missed by her family and friends.
Debra is survived by her husband R. Cleve Buttars of Twin Falls; children Julie Ann (Clint) Schnoor of Twin Falls, Ryan Cleve (Chelsea) Buttars of Twin Falls, Carrie Jean (Jason) Lloyd of West Lafayette, Ind., and Tracie Lyn (Jonathan) Lindsey of Millbrae, Calif. She leaves nine beautiful grandchildren, Jack, Ellie, Lucy, Audrey and William Beck Schnoor; Maxon, Evelyn and Jude Lloyd; and Scarlett Lindsey. She is also survived by her mother Ann Alene Shaw of Sandy, Utah; sisters Deann (Lee) Broadbent of North Logan, Utah, and Dixie (Steve) Van Winkle of Sandy, Utah; brothers David (Annette) Shaw of Sandy, Utah, Duane (Marci) Shaw of Sandy, Utah, and Daren (Louise) Shaw of North Salt Lake City, Utah. She was preceded in death by her father, William Dean Shaw.
A heartfelt thanks from our family to Dr. Banu Symington and the staff at St. Luke's Magic Valley and Mountain States Tumor Institute, Deb's great caregivers at the LDS Hospital 8th Floor Transplant Unit in Salt Lake City, and caringbridge.org for their invaluable services given with such dedication and love.
