Natalie J. Dabel
Age: 62
Residence: Libby, Montana
Natalie J. Dabel, 62, passed away with family by her side on February 18, 2026, in Libby, Montana, after bravely losing her fight with aggressive brain cancer.
Born on May 15, 1963, in Vallejo, California, Natalie built her life around her family. She was a loving and dedicated mother, a proud grandmother, and a loyal friend. Natalie worked as a caregiver and CNA at A Full Life and Addus. She found deep purpose in helping those who needed support and comfort.
She is lovingly survived by her children: Amanda Dompier (Brian), Amy Jones (Chris), Nichole Brewer (Brent), Shauntie Gotham (Chase), and Justin Brewer (Kaydee). She was a proud and adoring grandmother to 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life and brought her immeasurable joy. She is also survived by her siblings Darreld Bachteler (Marcie) and Lisa Laycock (Jim).
Natalie will be remembered for the deep love she had for her family and the courage she showed throughout her life. Her presence will be profoundly missed, and her memory will be held close in the hearts of all who knew her. Arrangements are under the care of Schnackenberg and Riddle Funeral Home of Libby, MT.
