Angela Butler Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 1, 2024.
Angela Kay Butler, née Cegon, known affectionately as Angie, passed away on July 31, 2024, in Tucson, AZ, at the age of 56. Born on April 21, 1968, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Angie was a beacon of warmth and cheerfulness, always approaching life with a smile.

Angie dedicated over 30 years to her career as a Certified Medical Assistant. Her commitment to the health and well-being of her patients and colleagues was evident in her daily work in various physicians' offices across the country. She was a lifelong learner, having studied at the Boulder Valley Area Vocational Technical Center, which furthered her skills and passion for healthcare.

Beyond her professional life, Angie was deeply involved in her community and her faith, participating in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Her hobbies included full-time RV'ing with her husband, traveling, and exploring the beauty of nature through diving and snorkeling. Angie also enjoyed singing, reading, and engaging in card and word games with her loved ones. Her angelic voice brought joy everyone who listened and her gaming play was always cutthroat.

Angie is survived by her husband, John R. Butler; her siblings, Robert L. Cegon, Michelle Cegon, and Tony Cegon; step-daughter, Kaylie Butler-Billings; grandson, Ethan Jones; great-granddaughter, Juniper B. Jones; mother-in-law, Jean M. Butler; step-mother, JoAnn Cegon; step-father, David Donaldson; and numerous step-siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert M. Cegon, and her mother, Leota M. Donaldson nee Johnson-Cegon.

In a touching tribute to their life together, Angie's husband will carry her ashes until he finds their forever home, where he will inter her remains and mark the site with a headstone, fulfilling their shared vision.

The family has entrusted Oasis Cremation & Funeral Care in Tucson, AZ, with the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the charity of your choice in memory of Angie, celebrating her life and the joy she brought to so many.

I didn´t expect to cry typing this. Seeing your face just made all the emotions come running right back. I´ll never forget you. You made working at Esse a joy. I´ll forever miss you and we will keep the margarita tradition alive. I miss you Angie.

I worked with Angie's husband John for many years and enjoyed many happy hours and dinners with both of them. Angie provided great support when I was pregnant with both of my boys. She even had to watch the boys when we had a medical emergency. That's a funny story I will retell John over and over.

My extended family welcomed John and Angie into their homes and family gatherings because they are great people.

She was a great friend and listener and provided advice, encouragement, and opinions for which I am grateful.

Angie will be missed by many and forever in our memories. I will miss you.

I'm heart broken. This is a total shock for me. I loved getting your calls while working with you. You always made my day. I will definitely miss your humor. And my word, that mouth of yours.

I didn't know her for very long but loved being with her and playing the games with her and her family. I wish I would have had more time with her but I know she's at peace and without pain. She was an awesome gal.

She was so happy when we found out I was having a girl. She said that Journey would soften my heart. I think she made it too soft. We didn´t talk everyday but knowing I won´t hear you laugh is killing me.

I will always remember Angie´s laugh. She would be in another room and it would make me smile. I got a kick out her cussing like a sailor. She had a good faith and would do anything for you. She will be missed by many. Prayers for her family.

Angie and I had the best time at Esse Health. We used to do dare Fridays and I remember her dare was to say "ding" everytime someone got on the scale lol. The patients were so confused and we laughed so hard. I´m going to miss her.

Angie was super easy to be around. She made me feel at ease and special when she tooke into her confidence. Also funny funny funny!! She called a few weeks ago with her CPAP on, just to sing me that song called "word up" because she thought it was funny how her mask made her voice sound plugged just like that song!!!! We laughed so hard!!!! Tony and I have been speaking to her most nights for months and we feel her absence so profoundly. Our daily dose of her was a gift.

Met Angie when she and John were in Arizona this past winter. Her sense of humor, laugh, smile and singing voice will be greatly missed even though we didn't get much time together. Heaven gained an angelic voice this day.

I lived with the Cegons in exchange for housework and childcare when the kids were actual kids. Angie was the sweetest of them all. They were all special in their own ways of course. I always had to smile when, as adults, she was equally, if not more, snarky, humorous and witty as any of them. But always that sweet sweet face. I wish I could be with all of you during this transition. My heart and thoughts are truly with you though.
