Deborah Butler Bancroft

• 

Bancroft, Deborah Butler Debbie (1930-2022) lived well and left us peacefully on November 6. Her children, Ann, Hunter (Helga Lange), Carrie (Roberto Gutiérrez), Sarah (Andrew Bancroft-Howard) and her grandchildren (Maya, Alma, Morgan, Samán, Frank, and Charlie) cherish her spirit and rejoice in her long and joyful life. She is preceded in death by Richard (Dickie) Bancroft, husband for 63 years, dear son William (Bill) Bancroft and her brother, Michael Butler. Debbie was graceful, loyal, adoring, compassionate and so very kind to so many people and creatures. She walked gently on this earth and her spirit will last through bundles of nieces and nephews, in-laws, distant family, dear and life-long friends, activists, and peace and justice-loving companions in her Twin Cities community and from around the world. Family and friends will gather on Wednesday, 21 December, 2:00 pm at the University Club of St. Paul, 420 Summit Ave. Donations in Debbie's honor can be made to: Non-Violent Peace Force, Wilderness Inquiry, Neighborhood House.
