Obituary For Darlene Rae Gabrielson

Today we remember Darlene Gabrielson, who passed away on July 24, 2026, at the age of 70.

She is survived by her children, Mathew (Tricia) Worland and Angelic (Kenny) Courts. Grandchildren, Baily (Tonia) Amani, Banyan, Kayzin, Zoey, and Kallen. Siblings, Bonnie (Dan) Lamb, Wayne Gabrielson, and Debie (Mike) Palmer, and her many nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her mom and dad, Lester and Margret Gabrielson, and her love, John Fernandez.

She was an educator at Rapid Valley Elementary School for 24 years. Her students knew her as Mrs. Worland, Mrs. Fernandez, and Mrs. Isaacson. To her "kids", you were all cherished.

For those of us who were the luckiest, we knew her as a loving mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be deeply missed, but will live on through the many lives she touched. If you knew her, you loved her, and she loved you.

A celebration of life will be held at Generations Weddings and Events.
