She was born September 21, 1936, and was the first generation American born to John and Mary (Kowalski) Chaberski in Chicago, IL. She was the fifth child of six children. She graduated from Morton High School and then started working for Sears Roebuck and Co. She later met her future husband Richard Ubl while she was on a double date with her sister Ramona in Delavan, WI. He offered her a ride back to Cicero together and the rest is history. They were married on September 20, 1958.

She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Richard, four daughters; Kimberly (Dean) Bourdages, Cynthia (Dr. Scott) Altman, Linda (Dino) Armiros and Paula Daley. 11 grandchildren; Lauren (Andrew) Ondik, Austin (Chelsea-Fiancée) Bourdages, Nicholas Bourdages, Jessica Altman, Michael Altman, Bradley Altman, Emily (Doug) Jacobs, Zoe Armiros, William Armiros, Sam (Angela) Daley, Christine (Ryan Smith) Daley.

Carol started back to work after moving with her family to DeKalb. She took classes to learn how to "code" punch cards and started working at Kishwaukee Hospital. She then became the Director of Volunteer Services at Kishwaukee Hospital where she managed "Gauze and Applause" and the Holiday Bazaar for the hospital. One of her favorite jobs was working holidays at Marshall Field and Co in the cookware dept. which benefited her daughters greatly. She met and maintained friendships with her Tuesday Mahjong group, which she enjoyed immensely.

She was an incredible mother and taught her daughters that women can be anything they want to be. She was our greatest supporter.

Special thanks to Dr. Thakkar and Jamie NP. The wonderful nurses and CNA's at Kishwaukee Hospital, Oakcrest and Hospice.
