Carrol A. Dooper, 87, was greeted by the numerous furry companions she cared for during her lifetime when she crossed over on September 2, 2022. Cremation has taken place, as per Carrol’s wishes, and a graveside service will be held at the Highland Cemetery on Saturday, October 29, 2022 with a reception following at the Cottonwood.
Carrol was born to Annie Lukin Overton and Joseph Henry Overton in Oswego, Montana on July 24, 1935. She was raised by her grandparents, Emma and Peter “Rhubarb” Lukin.
On June 17, 1957 August “Gus” Dooper and Carrol were married in Wolf Point, Montana. They spent the entirety of their married life in Valley and Phillips County.
In her later years Carrol prided herself on being self-sufficient, and spent her days caring for her pets, feeding the birds, shopping at “The Thrift,“ motoring to garage sales, and making frequent trips to the library in her “Hummer” until her health dictated a move to Valley View Home in December of 2021. While there, she especially enjoyed the company of Jax and Rose, the resident felines, and Rigg, the handsome German Shepherd. The family is grateful for the excellent care Carrol received while residing at Valley View.
She is survived by her daughters, Terri Payseno of Torrington, Wyoming and Kim Dooper of Cody, Wyoming; sons, Tom (Candy) of Lusk, Wyoming and August “Tinker” of Bridger, Montana; grandsons, T.J. (Jackie) Poulsen and Matt Dooper; granddaughters, Katie Payseno, Dani (Jessee) Wilson and Bailey Dooper; great-grandsons, Charlie Bates, Cullen Poulsen, and Mack Wilson; great-granddaughter, Finley Poulsen; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Preceding her in death were her husband, Gus; daughter, Darla “Pokey” Wagner; grandsons, Cole Dooper and Lucas Hunter Dooper; brother, Bobby Overton; and sisters, Betty Kindred and Kay Persons.
A memorial has not been established but donations may be made in Carrol’s name to a charity of the donor’s choice, especially Valley View Home or one that benefits animals.

Jessie Sonsteng says
Our thoughts and prayers go out the her family. We always enjoyed seeing Carrol and all her kitty cats. She was a joy to talk to and always put a smile on our faces with all the jokes she was always cracking. Her humor and joyful cheeriness will definitely be missed. Heaven received an amazing woman and they will have their hands full with this Angel 🙂 Your memory will never be forgotten.
