Clara Agnes Gabrielson's Obituary
Clara Agnes Gabrielson, 93, Ada, MN, died Friday, December 23, 2016, at Halstad Living Center, Halstad, MN. She was born on October 1, 1923, to Andrew and Christine (Haugen) Anderson at Hillsboro, ND. Clara graduated from the Hillsboro High School in 1942.
On July 21, 1942, Clara was united in marriage to Chester Gabrielson at Crookston, MN. Chester entered the Army and Clara was able travel with him while he was in the United States. After his discharge in 1945, they lived in Halstad, where Chester worked as a barber. They were blessed with three daughters: Julie, Cathy, and Sue. In 1966, they moved to Ada. Clara began working as a Nurse's Aide in about 1966 at the Wimmer Nursing Home, Ada. She worked until the late 1990's, when Clara retired. Chester died January 5, 2002.
