Constance Babette Vlahos, RN, BS, NCSN entered into her heavenly home on Thursday, October 11, 2018 in Destin, Florida surrounded by family. Constance Babette Dickey was born April 7, 1962 in Baton Rouge, La. to Craig BonDurant Dickey and Corrinne Clarynda Womack Dickey. Babette attended Louisiana State University before graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Southeastern Louisiana University. Having met her husband, Tom, at LSU, the two were married on October 24, 1981 at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Baton Rouge. Babette and Tom had four children: CJ, Chris, Nick, and Eric. During her career as a nurse, she helped many people as a post-partum nurse, nursing director of a home health agency, teacher of health sciences, Fulton County cluster nurse (a job she loved), and finally as the President of the Georgia Association of School Nurses. In 2011, she continued working as a nurse in Alpharetta, Ga and began living part-time in Destin, Fl. She moved to the place she has always loved, Destin, in 2015 full-time and enjoyed days on the beach with her family and friends. Babette is preceded in death by: paternal grandparents, Bondurant "Bon" and Verna Dickey; maternal grandparents, Cleve Womack and Ida Womack Poche; step-father, William "Billy" Bezdek; father-in-law, Michael Vlahos; aunt, Carole Braud; uncle, Cleve "Bubby" Womack Jr.; uncle, Wilson Ramshur.

Our sincerest condolences to the family. Babette was a member of our team for the last 9 years. She was an incredible School Nurse and School Health Leader. Her students, families, colleague and schools absolutely adored her. She was caring, thoughtful and her kind spirit would fill any room. We were so blessed to have her as part of our team. She is one of the most courageous persons that we have ever met and her inspiration and light will shine on. She will be dearly missed but rest in peace dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
