Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Patricia Ruth Butterfield Webb, was born on July 26, 1948, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She peacefully returned to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father, surrounded by those she loved most.
Patricia was born to VeLoy Hansen Butterfield and Ruth Tebbs Butterfield, inheriting many of the gentle, faithful, and creative qualities of her mother. From an early age, she showed a deep love for music and the arts, talents that would bless countless lives throughout her lifetime.
She graduated from East High School and attended the University of Utah, where her appreciation for learning, culture, and creativity continued to grow. A gifted musician, Patricia was especially talented on the piano and organ, and she also expressed herself beautifully through her artwork. She even composed her own music, expressing through melody the faith and tenderness that defined her life. Music was not just a skill for her, it was a language of worship, comfort, and connection.
The most important things in Patricia’s life were her family and her faith. She was a devoted, lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she served faithfully in many callings. She especially loved serving in music-related callings and found great joy playing the organ and piano in church meetings. She also served as Relief Society President, among many other roles, always giving of herself quietly, faithfully, and without seeking recognition.
Patricia married her eternal companion, Craig Steven Webb, in the Salt Lake Temple on May 25, 1972. Together they built a home centered on love, service, laughter, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
She was the loving mother of Wendy Fleming (Brandon), Michael Webb (Lyndsi), and Jennifer Painter (Josh). She was a devoted grandmother to seven grandchildren, with another joyfully anticipated. Her love for her family was constant, unwavering, and unconditional, and her influence will be felt for generations.
She is also survived by her loving siblings, Vee Butterfield, Jill Halliday, Carolyn Call, and Valeri Stoddart, with whom she shared a lifetime of cherished memories.
Patricia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Craig Webb, and her son, Ryan Webb, whose passing left an enduring mark on her heart. She carried that love and loss with grace, faith, and quiet strength.
She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her deep testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, her artistic and musical gifts, and the way she made people feel seen, loved, and safe. Her life was a testament to steady faith, humble service, and enduring love.
The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, patience, and care shown to Patricia throughout her life.

Patricia and I played in a violin quartet at Roosevelt Jr. High. On one assembly, we blacked out our teeth with chocolate wrappers and stomped our bare feet on the stage while we played a Hee Haw version of "Goofus." We kept in touch through the years, but most recently messaging each other on Facebook. We discovered we both had insomnia so we spent many hours chit-chatting about memories and various topics, including the fact that she knew Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and arranged his song, "The Warmth of the Sun." She was an incredible musician who played the piano at age 2 and when a neighbor heard her play, commented that not only was she was playing by ear, but was playing the melody in the left hand and the harmony in the right. She was in Madrigals, but because of her shyness, I doubt people knew how talented she was. I messaged with her through many hospital visits and home confinements. She had so many health challenges, but faced them with determination and good spirits. We saw each other through COVID, sharing pictures of our dogs and the flowers in our gardens. She was incredibly beautiful, inside and out.

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of Pat Butterfield.😢.
I was in Madrigals with her, also played some violin with her. She was so quiet and shy, but such a sweet person. Sending love and prayers to her children and grandchildren.

We remember Pat so well. Ginny went to school with her since Kindergarten. I remember her well in Madrigals. She was always so sweet and kind. I had no remembrance of her musical talent other than vocal. Wow, what a great life. I'm sorry about her health challenges. We will always remember how gentile, kind and friendly she was. So sorry she is gone.
