    Notes:

    Died:
    Deva entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, July 26, 2017.

    She was born in Kenmare, North Dakota and was adopted by the late Thomas Mack and Mercedes Munro, of Kalispell, Montana; where she grew up.

    She taught in a one-room school house in rural Montana; and became a foster mother for a total of 13 girls (ages 13-19 years old). In 1968, she moved to New Jersey with her six months old daughter, Christine. She was employed by Warner Lambert Pharmaceuticals, and later for Allied Chemical in their marketing departments. She married Robert Brunner in 1969, and had a son August "Thomas" in 1970. In 1977 she married the true love of her life, Edward "Lloyd" Buttram. He had three children from a previous marriage; David, Jeanine and Doug. In 1977, the family moved to Midland, Michigan where she was employed by Northwood Institute. She was the epitome of a naturally born homemaker; admired for her flair of decorating, entertaining, and devotion to her children and the community. In 1981, they moved to the Raleigh area of North Carolina. She was employed by Cameron-Brown (later named Wells Fargo) for many years and retired in 2009.

    Deva was predeceased by her beloved husband, Lloyd Buttram. She is survived by her loving daughter Christine (Greg) Miller; and her devoted son, Thomas (Terri) Buttram; and her step-children, David (Marlene) Buttram, Jeanine Denning (Mark), and Douglas (Laura) Buttram. She leaves behind her precious grandchildren Aaron Thomas and Matthew Blair Miller, Jason and Elizabeth, Alex and Natalie, and Camille, Brett, Pierce and Brooke. She is also survived by her sister Mary Esther and her husband, Bill Stiles, of Dallas, Texas; and nephews Roy, Jay, and Morgan Stiles. Her greatest love was her family.

    Deva always knew she had a biological sister named Nancy. In 2014, she asked Josh Shaffer of the News and Observer, to help locate her biological sister, Nancy. He located Nancy in Arizona, and Nancy called her on April 17th. They both cried. Nancy flew to Raleigh, and they finely met after seventy-one years. Deva found she had two living half-brothers, Robin and Larry; and another sister, Verna. All were welcoming and gracious. They all kept in contact through telephone calls and letters.
