Sadly in 2001, Karl passed away. After his passing she got to spend the last 20 years with her partner, Garth Cordon. They enjoyed traveling, hosting gatherings, and spending time at their cabin at Sheep Creek together.

She is survived by Partner, Garth Cordon; Son, Jeremy (Kristy) Simmons; Son, Mark Butikofer (Keisha Fisher); Daughter, Marrisa Butikofer; Step-Son, Brad(Jen) Cordon; Grand Kids, Morgyn (Easton) Banta, Ryker Simmons, Nicole Cordon, Cloey Lepore, Peyton King, Olivia King ,Roczen Butikofer, Kobee Butikofer, Jozee Johnson; Sisters, Glenda Hinkley, Jeralyn Messenger, Mariellen Drollinger, Coy Lou Stephens. She is preceded in death by her late husband Karl Butikofer, father Glen Longhurst, mother Marian Longhurst, and brother Thomas Glenn Longhurst.
