She was born on May 20, 1943, to Reese and Doris Housley in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Ben Lomond High School in 1961. Nila served the Lord on an LDS mission to Canada from 1965-66. She loved her mission and the people she met and served there. She worked as a barber before meeting the love of her life, Thomas Butterfield. Nila and Tom were married July 6, 1973. When she married Tom she gained two daughters, Terry and Tracy. She and Tom had three children together, Lisa, Kathryn and Troy. They were later sealed in the Ogden, Utah Temple. There was nothing she loved more than being a mother, until she became a grandma. Her grandchildren loved her dearly and almost as much as she loved them. She loved to be around people and loved to make people smile. To know her was to completely love her. Her siblings will proudly tell you she was the best sister ever. Her nieces and nephews all believed they were her favorite. She made this world a better place. Her childrens friends all adored her and considered her a second mom. Nila worked as a school lunch cook for many years. She enjoyed traveling with family, playing games and being with friends and family. She and Tom moved into Chancellor Gardens in Clearfield in 2018, and quickly made it their home. They loved the caregivers and friends they met there. We appreciate the care given by the amazing staff at Chancellor Gardens and Symbii Home Health and Hospice. They brightened her life and took excellent care of our mom. She loved and adored you!
