Priscilla “Granny” Butler – 1934-2017 Priscilla “Granny” Butler passed away Nov. 28, 2017, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born Aug. 18, 1934, to Andrew and Margaret Lockwood on the San Carlos Indian Reservation. She was one of a few remaining full-blooded San Carlos Apache Tribal members. Priscilla attended school on the res- ervation till she reached age 16, when her life changed dramatically. While on a visit to her sister, Anna, in Siletz, Ore., she was introduced to the Leonard Whitlow Sr. family, which was in need of a nanny. She was given the chance and became their beloved nanny for four years until she met the love of her life, Delmer Butler. They were married Dec. 9, 1955, in Stevenson, Wash., and eventually relocated to Reedsport, Ore., where she raised six children and two grandchildren. Wherever she went, her friendly beautiful smile would light up the room. The older she got, the cuter she became. Priscilla’s door was open to anyone in need of a good night’s rest or a delicious home-cooked meal. Sunday dinners were her specialty. Priscilla is survived by sons Delmer Jr., Dent and Kent of Reedsport, Brent of Sandy, Ore., and Barry of Eugene, Ore.; daughters Ella Fisher of Reedsport and General Council Meeting Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018 • 1 p.m. Siletz Tribal Community Center Siletz, Oregon Programs Tribal Restoration – Ed Ben Call to Order Invocation Flag Salute Roll Call Approval of Agenda Approval of Minutes Tribal Members’ Concerns Richene Johnson of Elkton, Ore.

She is further survived by 12 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren with two on the way and numerous brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Delmer L. Butler Sr.; her parents; three sisters, Ann, Juana and Loraine; two brothers, Ward and Romey; special nephew Brian Moody; and great- granddaughter Ahnika Mitchell-Blondell.
