Carol Dabbs Obituary
Carol Sue Dabbs, born on November 22, 1949, in Bakersfield, California, passed away on December 9, 2025, in Chouteau, Oklahoma. She led a life marked by compassion and dedication, primarily as an LPN Nurse, where she devoted her career to caring for others.

Carol was a proud grandmother to nine grandchildren and delighted in the company of six great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life.
She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, William Davis and Mary Maxine (Bolen) Davis, her husband Wayne Dabbs, and her sister Sheryl Smith.
