On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, Robert and Donna Butler passed from this life together. Robert (Bob) was 89 years of age and Donna was 83.
Donna Jean Butler was born on November 23, 1936 in Flat River, Missouri to Albert and Grace Akers.
She enjoyed reading. You could often find her sitting near a window or on the porch swing lost in a good book. She liked to put puzzles together and usually had one in progress on a card table set up in the living room.
She appreciated art. She had an easel where she created pencil and charcoal sketches. She loved animals, big and small.
She never met a stray she couldn't coax into the barn to be fed. She liked to bird watch, and had several bird feeders in the backyard. She often sat on the back porch and admired birds in flight and their colors.
She was an excellent cook! Her homemade chicken and dumplings were famous amongst family and friends. She also enjoyed baking. You could often find a treat fresh from the oven on her counter.
She was a member of Ozark Family Church in Ozark, Missouri.
Bob and Donna were married nearly 70 years. They were united in marriage on December 22, 1950 and their union brought three children: Scottie Butler, Terry Butler Howard, and Danny Butler.
Bob and Donna began their married life together in Esther, Missouri. They later lived in Flat River, Arcadia, and St. Louis, Missouri. Ozark, Missouri has been their home since 1980. They also had a home in Okeechobee, Florida, where they spent winters.
Donna is survived by their three children: Scottie Butler and his wife Jane, Terry Butler Howard and her husband Don, and Danny Butler and his wife Linda.
Eight grandchildren: Erin Howard Cowan and her husband, Keith; Chad Butler and his wife, Amy; Cale Howard and his wife, Tanya; Emily Butler Young and her husband, Craig; Daniel Howard and his wife, Bridget; Adam Howard and his wife, Amy; Annie Butler Kemp and her husband Chris; and Dennis Butler.
Seventeen great grandchildren: Grayson Cowan, Graham Cowan, Ryan Kate Cowan, Erika Butler, Bennett Butler, Finley Butler, Wilder Howard, Carter Young, Owen Young, Evan Howard, Jada Howard, Ian Howard, Macy Howard, Kyle Howard, Everett Howard, Dane Butler, and Newton Kemp.
Family was their greatest joy. Though we mourn their passing, we rejoice that they are together in Heaven.
