Anna Butkus Obituary

Nampa - Anna Mae Butkus passed peacefully from earthly life in the early morning of Sunday, March 23, 2025 in Nampa, Idaho.

Anna Mae was born in Goldendale, Washington, the fourth and youngest child of Roy and Margaret Beers. Anna Mae's youth was spent living in various places in Washington state. She graduated from Centralia High School in 1955 and married Jim Butkus in 1956. Four sons were born to Anna Mae and Jim during times spent living in Washington, Arizona, Oregon, and California. Anna Mae moved to Nampa, Idaho in 1995 to be closer to her sons and grandchildren.

Anna Mae will be missed, especially by her family: her sons, Dave Butkus, Steve (Susan) Butkus, Jim (Audra) Butkus, and Brian (Melinda) Butkus; her grandchildren, Jeff, Sara, Janae, Braeden, Toby, Abby, and Alex; and her brother, Glenn (Eileen) Beers. She also had a very special connection with her nephew, Glenn Robert (Ruth) Beers and her grand-nieces, Hannah (Colin) Borger and Rachel Beers.

A Celebration Service in Anna Mae's honor will be held on May 27 at 1:00 PM at Bethel Church of the Nazarene, 3001 12th Ave. Rd. in Nampa, Idaho. An online guest book and the complete obituary may be found at www.nampafuneralhome.com.

While Anna was at Sunny Ridge Manor, she was a caring and helpful friend to my mother, Helen Tiegs. We told her often how much her thoughtfulness meant to us. Anna will be remembered lovingly always.
