Obituary -- Lani Lee Peel
Lani Peel

Lani Lee Peel (Workman), our angel on Earth has gained her wings in heaven. Lani suddenly passed away on January 7th at the age of 78, surrounded by her husband of 60 years, four children, and family.

Lani was born in Monterey Park, CA on November 18, 1943, to Rex and Jean Workman. She moved to Fallon in the 8th grade and has blessed this community with her brightness ever since. She was passionately devoted to God, her family, and friends and remained a steadfast source of positivity to others in all situations. Many will remember her words “Well, we just have to pray about it because it’s in God’s hands”. Now Lani is truly held in God’s hands and her legacy of love, grace, generosity, and kindness will forever live in the hearts of all those who were blessed to know her.

Lani is survived by her mother Jean Workman, brother Dave Workman, husband Art Peel, children Tim Peel, Jeff Peel (wife Dana), Cheryl Gallio (husband Andy), Tami Peel (fiancé John), seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, January 15th at 1:30 pm, Parkside Bible Fellowship, 485 Tedford Lane with a reception to follow. Visitation will be held on Friday, January 14, 2:00-6:00 pm at The Gardens, 2949 Austin Hwy.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider giving to the City of Fallon Christmas Tree Lighting fund in her memory as Lani was so proud of this annual community event, and she cherished the joy and traditions that Christmas brings. Donations can be made to the City of Fallon, 55 W. Williams Ave., Fallon, NV 89406. Please indicate “Christmas Tree Lighting” in the memo.  

Arrangements are under the direction of The Gardens Funeral Home 2949 Austin Highway Fallon, Nv. 89406   775 423-8928

Lani will forever be missed by all who knew her. I've often joked she nagged me to Jesus. For that I will always be thankful. Praying for all that love and miss Lani.

I just heard of Lani going home to the LORD. Sad for those she left, but she is NOW looking into the face of the Lord Jesus!! She is now home as she is a citizen of heaven. She can't come back to this Earth but through FAITH in CHRIST alone we can go to her and and to Christ!!!

Lani touched so many lives in the very best way. She was the sunshine in our world. Lani was a true Christian who always saw the good in all situations and prayed to our Lord to take over in times of distress. She loved our Lord, her family and her friends. Lani had a huge heart and embraced all whom she met. Our hearts are broken to have lost such a beautiful woman. Our angel has gone to be with our Lord. Lani you will always be in my heart. I was Blessed to have known and worked with you.

She was one of the nicest and loving persons I meant after moving to Fallon almost 30 years ago. She always had a smile and a hug and how are you every time I saw her. She was and is an Angel. Peace be with all of her family and know she is truly with God.

Comment author: BonnieComment text: Good Luck to all of you. I mean this sincerely. My family fought the Navy for years. My parents owned Horse Creek (Pat and Linda Dempsey). They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
