Gabrielle (Gabby) Monique Sterling, age 30, of Cohoes, NY, passed away on August 18, 2026, in her home at The Lofts at Harmony Mills.
Gabby was born in Rhinebeck, New York, to Dorrel Sterling and Owen Sterling Sr. on January 30, 1996. After graduating from Hudson Sr. High School, she briefly lived in Georgia and began pursuing her education in nursing. She later moved to the Capital Region of New York, where she went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Russell Sage College in 2020. She returned to Sage earlier this year to pursue an advanced degree in nursing with aspirations of becoming a Nurse Practitioner.
She began her career as a Registered Nurse at St. Peter’s Hospital before transitioning to travel nursing throughout New York. She concluded her nursing career at Saratoga Hospital, where her nursing number was ceremoniously retired in her honor. She was a DAISY Award recipient, recognized nationally for her extraordinary clinical skill, compassionate care, and dedication to her patients.
Outside of the hospital, Gabby enjoyed cooking and baking, traveling, shopping, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with loved ones. Friends and family remember Gabby as a deeply loving, compassionate, and selfless person who had an incredible ability to make others feel important and cared for. She will be remembered for her warm heart, contagious laugh, and the way she brought light to every day. She was resilient, fiercely loyal, and endlessly kind. Those who knew her will keep her memory alive through the cherished moments they shared with her. Her presence will remain eternal in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.
