Natalie J. Dabel, 62, passed away with family by her side on Feb. 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 two 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.
