Obituary of Dovie Jean Fabors

Dovie Jean (Fleming) Fabors, 88, of Van Buren, Arkansas, a wife, mother, & grandmother returned to her Heavenly home on September 21^st, 2018.  Her devotion to family & faith in God guided her through life & gave her peace.    

Dovie was born in Sapulpa on July 28^th, 1930, the daughter of Frank & Dovie B. Fleming.   She was the youngest of 7 children; Dean, Paul, Aubrey, James, Bill Fleming & June (Fleming) Howard.  

As a young woman, Dovie was an elevator operator in the Security National Bank building in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, but her long term passion was caring for her family. 

Dovie married on October 23, 1964 and was blessed with two boys and two grandchildren.  She enjoyed playing all forms of games, but her favorite was a board game called Wahoo.   It was her favorite because it involved her entire family participating & being present.  She was often found reading passages in her Bible and in her later years Dovie began coloring and found it calming.

She is survived by her first love Jimmie Fabors, her two sons DeWayne & Shawn Fabors, two grandchildren Victoria (Fabors) Cates & JD Fabors, her sister June Howard, and so many loving Fleming nieces, nephews & cousins. 

Dovie Fleming was loved by all.  She will be dearly missed but would want us all not to sorrow over her passing, but instead celebrate her life & her endless love for all. 

Funeral Services are scheduled at 2 pm Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at Green Hill Funeral Home with Pastor Frank Hopkins officiating.  Burial will be in Green Hill Memorial Gardens.  Visitation will be Tuesday morning prior to her service.  The family has entrusted the services to Green Hill Funeral Home.  400 E. Teel Rd.  918-224-2312

The family will be having lunch at the First Baptist Church in Kellyville at 12:00 pm prior to the Service on Tuesday.
