BUTLER — LEORA RUTH DANIELS, 77, of Butler died Tuesday, December 9, 2008, at Laurel of DeKalb Nursing Home in Butler after a short battle with cancer.

She was born near Norwalk, Wisconsin, at the Gajewski family farm.
She married Wallace Carroll Daniels in Norwalk, Wis., on October 21, 1950. He preceded her in death on May 19, 2002. She was raised on the family farm and attended a one-room school house from grades first through eighth and then attended and graduated from Sparta High School in Sparta, Wis.
Leora was a loving and devoted mother to 13 children. She spent the majority of her life raising and caring for children. She was an avid reader and the family historian. She was very talented and always busy making precious items for family and friends with her hands. She looked forward to the fair each year, so she could enter items that she had made. She won many awards with her hand knitted mittens and her crochet dollies. This year she received a champion, reserve champion and three blue ribbons to add to her collection of past ribbons.
