It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Darlene Dorado Jabson, who left us peacefully on July 25, 2025, at the age of 68. Born and raised on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawai'i, Darlene embodied the spirit of aloha in everything she did. Her love for the ocean was lifelong - she found joy and strength in paddling with Kaimanu Outrigger Canoe Club and could often be found supporting hula performances and events with Kaulana Na Pua O'Hawaii Dancers, connecting deeply to her culture and her roots. A woman of quiet strength and unwavering compassion, Darlene gave selflessly to those around her. She was the kind of person who made time for everyone, always offering a listening ear, a warm embrace, or a helping hand. After many years working for Kaiser Permanente, she chose to retire and relocate to Las Vegas, Nevada where she built a new circle of friends and found joy in a different kind of sunshine. Even in the desert, she carried the spirit of the islands with her - always kind, generous, and full of grace. Darlene was a devoted mother and grandmother, cherished friend, and a beautiful soul whose impact will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her. Her legacy of love, empathy, and resilience lives on through her family and all who had the blessing of knowing her. She is survived by her daughters Diane Young (Rob), Desiree Maya, her grand-daughters Jasmine & Jacqueline Young, siblings Emma Adames (Orlando), Macario Dorado (Nancy), Ann Dorado-Schuyler (John) and Benjamin Dorado and countless cousins, nieces & nephews, and her partner Mark McKnight. She was preceded in death by Fidel Jabson (husband), Benjamin & Natividad Dorado (parents), Angelita Bright (sibling), Violeta Solis (sibling), George Dorado (sibling), Arthur Dorado (sibling). A hui hou, Darlene and Aloha 'Oe - until we meet again.
