Barbara Potter Fabbi

Fabbi, Barbara Sophia (Potter) was born in Las Vegas, NV, on September 28, 1936, and passed into the arms of her loving Heavenly Father in Las Vegas on January 31, 2018. She was married to Donald Fabbi for 64 years and with him, raised a family of four children. Barbara and Don raised a second family—their granddaughters Mona-Kay and Dawn-Marie—after the death of their daughter in 1991. Barbara was a telephone switchboard operator at the Landmark and Fitzgeralds hotel-casinos and McCarran Airport, and through this work, she watched firsthand the growth of the city and evolution of technology. Barbara loved giving “sugar” to her grandkids, flower gardening, the colors pink and lavendar, and her beloved Shih Tzu, Teri. She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald George Fabbi; parents, Nephi and Arlene (Stewart) Potter; sister, Mona-Kay Potter; brother, Daniel Potter; daughter, Donlyn Fabbi; and grandson, Marc Fabbi. She is survived by her sons, Craig (Lory), Kent (Suzanne); and Gary (Jill) Fabbi; fourteen grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren.
