Elaine Chabot, 79, died Aug. 7, 2023, at home.
She was born to Theodor and Evelyn (Clark) Lee in Williston, N.D. They moved to Wolf Point when she was 6 years old, and that is where she spent the rest of her childhood.
Her bubbly personality launched her into the class of 1962 Homecoming queen and head cheerleader. It was also in high school, she caught the eye of Dale Chabot. They married when she was 18. Their marriage moved them to Scobey where she was quickly faced with the duties of being a “farm wife.” As a young bride, her tenacity and servanthood shined while she learned new skills, like how to cook for many hearty appetites and to drive grain trucks.
She loved beautiful things and no detail ever escaped her. Her penmanship was impeccable, as were her flower gardens. At 19, she had her daughter, Stacey; and, three years later, her son, Troy, was born.
In her free time, she loved to volunteer and serve others in the community. She had the heart of a servant and always put the needs of others before her own. She loved doing ceramics, crafts with friends, shopping, golfing, baking her famous caramel rolls and spending time with those she loved. She went on several girls trips with her closest friends and those were some of her most precious memories.
