BUTTE - Sally (Sarah) Marion Perino

Sally Perino passed away at home surrounded by her loving family. Sally was born to the union of Frankie and Moses Reausaw on October 30, 1946 in Butte, MT. She attended local grade schools and graduated from Butte High School in 1964. She went on to complete Beauty School and begin a 50 year career as a hairdresser. Sally loved doing hair almost as much as she loved to talk. She was able to do a lot of both! She made many friends while doing what she loved. In addition to hairdressing, she was hired as what she referred to as a meter maid in 1991. She went on to be named Butte Silver Bow Parking director. She retired from that position in 2015. She continued to do hair until her illness made her stop.

Sally married Karl Griffin in 1969. They had one daughter, Tara, born in 1976. The couple later divorced. Sally was an amazing mother and worked hard to provide Tara with everything she needed.

Sally gained a new family when Tara married Tom Billteen in 2011. In 2016, the light of her life, Dempsi Sloane was born. Being a grandma was her most treasured role in life.

Sally was one of kind. Her way of talking to strangers like they were best friends will be forever missed. Her sense of style will never be forgotten. Life will be a little more quiet with her gone.

Sally is survived by her daughter and son in law, Tara and Tom Billteen; granddaughter, Dempsi Billteen; her bonus grandchildren and great grandchildren, Kylee, Mike, Harper, and Haley Waldorf; Brady, Breanne, and baby Billteen; and Colten Billteen and Makayla McGivern.

At Sally's request cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held at a later date.

We love you Gramma Sal.
