Obituary

Patricia Joan Butters, age 84 passed away peacefully on August 27, 2016 at Mayo Clinic Hospital, St. Marys' Campus.

Patricia Joan Palmquist was born on February 27, 1932 in Duluth, MN to Gustaf and Hazel Palmquist. Following graduation from Denfeld High School, Pat attended Northwestern Hospital Nursing School and received her Registered Nurse degree. She remained in Duluth as a nurse, until September 12th 1953, when she married Donald H. Butters. In 1958, the couple moved to Rochester, MN, where she worked at Olmsted Medical Hospital. In addition, Pat worked as a teacher for Aldrich Nursery School and later served as Health Service Director at Hiawatha Homes of Rochester.

Pat is survived by her husband Don of Rochester, her children Kim (Jeff Summerfield) Butters of Rochester, Dr. Matthew (Nancy) Butters of Scottsdale, AZ, Paul (Tami) Butters of Flagstaff, AZ, five grandchildren, two great-granddaughters, and her brother John (Janice) Palmquist of Prior Lake, MN.

Pat was a devoted, longtime member of Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester and volunteered often at Samaritan Bethany Nursing Home. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
