Annelle Martell Obituary

Annelle (Evans) Martell October 9, 1967 – September 19, 2025 In the early morning hours of September 19, 2025, Annelle (Evans) Martell went to be with the Lord. A larger-than-life presence with a boundless heart, Annelle leaves behind many broken-hearted loved ones, especially her devoted husband of nearly 33 years, Richard Martell; her beloved daughter Taylor (Martell) Shelby and son-in-law Ryan Shelby; and her cherished granddaughter, Charlotte, all of Tennessee. Annelle was born on Cape Cod on October 9, 1967, to her parents Robert Evans and Paula (Chandler) Valencia, who both survive her. Annelle had a remarkable ability to light up every room she entered. She made friends wherever she went and had a gift for truly connecting with others. Her love for the beach, her passion for travel, and her unforgettable, contagious laughter will be remembered by all who knew her. She is deeply missed by her family, her sisters Sara Provos (Alex) and their son John, Carolyn Valencia and her children, Baily, Matthew, Barbara, and Jacqueline, her brother Robert Evans (Jr), and her stepson David Martell (Mariana). Her in-laws, Christine Clemmons (Jim) and Bill Martell (Judy). She will also greatly be missed by numerous other family members and dear friends. Annelle was preceded in death by her loving stepfather, Robert Valencia. Her spirit, joy, and love will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her. A private ceremony will be held by the family in her memory. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the American Diabetes Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society, and/or American Cancer Society. An online guestbook is available at www.myrtlebeachfuneralhome.com Myrtle Beach Funeral Home, (843.293.4505), 4505 Hwy 17 Bypass South, Myrtle Beach, SC. 29577 is assisting the Martell family with arrangements.

We met when we were 17 and I never had a more loyal friend. Her spirit and energy were infectious. She loved her family fiercely and was so proud to be a vovo. She loved being from the cape and was always happy to be by the ocean. She loved Rick so much and being a military wife. I will miss her immensely.

My heart was broken at the news of Annelle´s passing. She was one of the most kind and BEST army wives I have ever had the honor to know. She will always hold a special place in my heart and memories of our time together at Fort Campbell. I had not seen her in some time, but I have been praying for her and her family. She loved her family most of all, and always supported them. My heart hurts for them, and my prayers are with them. May they feel some comfort knowing that she loved them more than anything.
