It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Diane Martell, 81, of Burlington, ON. She left us on January 26, 2025 at Carpenter Hospice in Burlington. She was surrounded by her loving family and 2 cats. Diane was a beloved wife, mother, nanny, sister, aunt and great nana whose joy for life and kindness brightened every day and left her smile on everyone who knew her.
Diane was born on January 6, 1944 in North Sydney, N.S. She was one of 11 children born to Effie (Piercy) & Raymond Edward Stoodley. She is predeceased by her sisters and brothers; Sheila, Edward, Ron, Max, Frank, Roy, and Pauline. And is survived by 3 brothers: Harold, Henry and David. Diane attended Thompson High School in North Sydney where she met the love of her life, Charlie Martell, whom she married, and they started their beautiful family which gave them their biggest joy as their family grew bigger and bigger. They would often look at their offspring and then look at each other in awe and state “look what we, 2 little people from Thompson , started”.
Diane is predeceased by her loving husband Richard Charles Martell and survived by her four children: Sherry (David) Clouse, Tracey Richey (Eric), Steven (Pauline) Martell, Fraser Martell (Melinda). Diane’s biggest joy was her grandchildren: Michael (Kira), Danielle (Sandro), Robert, Hannah (Henri), Megan (James), Ryan (Chloe), Carson (Lindsay), Kylie (Jake) and Zach. Diane adored being a Great-Nana to Marley, Gabe, Miles, Juliana, Alina and Maeve. Diane was always a cat lover and will be greatly missed by her “2 tuxedo boys” Rocco & Teddy.
Diane loved family gatherings and celebrations; she will be greatly missed as she was our Dancing Queen. And will be lovingly remembered by her many in-laws and nieces and nephews for always having a smile and brightening any gathering. Her positive outlook, love and joy extended beyond their family, touching the lives of many.
Thank you to Carpenter House, Joseph Brant Oncology and Palliative Care Team for all their help and kindness. A special thanks to Diane’s visiting nurse, Natalia, who always brightened Diane’s day.
A Funeral Service to celebrate the life of Diane Martell will be held on Friday January 31, 2025 with visitation from 9-10 a.m. and the service starting at 10 a.m. at Smith’s Funeral Home at Brant St. Burlington, ON 905-632-3333. Family and friends are welcome to attend and pay their respects.
The family requests that donations be made to the Cancer Assistance Program, Carpenter Hospice of Burlington or the SPCA of Burlington in Diane’s memory.
Rest in peace, dear Diane. You will be forever missed and never forgotten.
