Arlene Rebecca Gabaldon
May 14th, 1960 - October 18th, 2025
"Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song." -Elvis Presley
It is with great love and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Arlene R. Gabaldon, who entered eternal rest on October 18, 2025. A lifelong resident of Albuquerque, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Arlene was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Angelina and Domingo Gabaldon, and her cherished daughter, Angelina Maria Gurulé.
She is survived by her loving daughter Gloria Gurulé (Elisha), her devoted son Victor Gurulé, her brother Clyde Gabaldon, and her sisters Sandra Sanchez and Marie (Chuck) Hosea and Brenda Leyba who was like a sister to her. She also leaves behind her dear godson Michael Hosea, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, a great-great-niece, aunts, and uncles.
Arlene will be remembered for her delicious Spanish rice, her quick wit and sense of humor, her undying love for Elvis, and most of all, her boundless love for her family and friends. Her legacy of love and strength will continue to live on in the many lives she touched.
Services will be announced at a later date.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
