Carol J. Nabbefeld

Carol Jane Nabbefeld, age 91, of Platteville, WI passed away peacefully with her children Craig and Karen at her side, on Monday, June 6, 2016, at Ingleside Manor, Mount Horeb. Carol was born on July 12, 1924 in Madison, WI, the daughter of Vivian Arthur and Lorraine Drury.

Carol had many jobs during her lifetime from working at the family department store, The Nobby Shoppe, to her final successful profession as a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Wisconsin Medical Library in Madison.

After her retirement, she moved back to Platteville to be near her family members there. She especially wanted to be close to her deeply beloved sister, Helen.

Survivors include her sister, Helen Heiser Napp; her daughter, Karen Wells Laszewski; her son, Craig J Nabbefeld; and nine grandchildren & fourteen great-grandchildren.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Barbara A Martens; and her brother, Dean Drury. Her first husband, S. Sgt. Harry O. Wells, Jr was KIA in WWII and her second husband, William G. Nabbefeld, Jr passed away many years ago.

Following Carol's explicit instructions, there was no visitation or funeral services. Private family graveside services will be held at a later date in the Calvary Cemetery in Platteville. Martin Schwartz Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Platteville is assisting the family.

In lieu of plants or flowers, a Carol J Nabbefeld Memorial Fund has been established.

Mother, this is not good-by.

We will all be there with you in the sky.

Bye and Bye.
