Shanell Martin Obituary

Shanell Catherine Martin, lovingly known as Shady, was born on March 29, 1990 and passed away on September 28, 2025, at the age of 35.

She was the beloved mother of Haiyden Martin, Aaron Alsdorf, and Chevelle Alsdorf. The cherished daughter of Tonya Harris and Steve Martin. The beloved sister of Brandon Munguia, Payton Munguia, Mataeo LaRue, Major Martin, Samantha Martin, Cara Martin, and Joni Gorham. She is survived by Grandparents Neil Harris and Sherry Irons. Heather, Billy, and Seth Gallegos, Karlie and Angel Nunez and Shereena Martin. Shanell was predeceased by her Great Grandmother, Irene Howell and Grandmother, Janell Harris, both of whom she loved dearly.

Shanell, loved by many, had a spirit that burned brightly. She was a creative soul, a curious ball of fire leaving sparks in every heart she touched. She lived like a flame, bright and uncontainable. Shady will be missed by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Shanell's 15-week-old baby boy, Armani Rey Martin-Cooper, is with her at rest for now. Survived by his father, Stacey Cooper and Grandmother, Jennifer Cooper.

Services will be held at Burns Funeral Home on October 17th, 2025 at 10 a.m.
