GLORIA LYNNE FABEL February 12, 1956 – October 5, 2024

GLORIA LYNNE FABEL February 12, 1956 – October 5, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Gloria Lynne Fabel. Born in Reno, NV, on February 12, 1956, passing on October 5, 2024, in Fallon, NV.  

Gloria had a large, loving, family including parents: Shirley Fabel and Robert Fabel (2003); brothers, sisters & spouses; Bobby Fabel (Judy Aja, 2024), Christine Longfield (Daryl), Lucy Fabel, Beverly Behasa (Mel), Irene Wirick (John), Thane Fabel, Laura Tomac (Steve). Children & spouses Ciera Tanner (Andrew), Shylo Hammond (Megan Scherer), and Amity Orona (Shane), and her grandchildren Audrey & Reeve Orona, as well as many nieces & nephews.  

Gloria was raised in Vinton, CA, moved to Fallon, NV, as an adult, and started a family shortly after. Gloria had a charismatic energy that no one could resist. The love she shared with others was selfless, limitless, and unconditional. She was always open to others no matter what walk of life they had come from, with a hug and a smile locked and loaded at all times. She enjoyed riding her Harley, crafting gifts for everyone, and spending time with family and loved ones. In the last few years of her life, she became a snowbird. She spent summers in Nevada caring for her mother, Shirley, and winters in Arizona adoring her grandchildren. The freedom that she experienced with her travels brought her joy and peace.  

Her creative and loving values are instilled in her children and grandchildren, and they will be carried on. The profound impact that she made on everyone who was blessed enough to meet her will never be forgotten. 

In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations for the memorial services using the link https://www.gofundme.com/f/celebrate-gloria-lynne-fabels-life-with-us.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Churchill County Museum in Fallon, NV. A program to remember Gloria will begin at 2 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. The museum, at 1050 S. Maine Street, will be open to all Gloria’s friends and family.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
