Janelle Martin Obituary
Abbeville, SC
Janelle Rose Jackson Martin, 28, loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, exchanged her cancer-stricken body for her glorious eternal one at her childhood home in Abbeville, SC on May 9, 2016, surrounded by her loving husband of three years, Shannon Martin, her son Dylan Casey, and her and her husband's families.
In addition to her husband and son, she is survived by her parents, Sam and Carolyn Jackson; brothers, Benji (Karin) Jackson, Jeff (Janice) Jackson, Matt Jackson, and Evan (Clarrisa) Jackson; nieces and nephews, Lauren, Sadie, Corey, Mason, Carter, Lindsey, and Leah Jackson, all of Abbeville, and Logan Martin of Spring Run, PA; as well as, a host of cousins and friends.
Born in Abbeville, SC on March 9, 1988, Janelle was a graduate of Cold Spring Mennonite School, and a former secretary for Cold Spring Enterprises. Janelle loved to spend time camping with her family in the mountains or at the lake. She met the love of her life while serving with him at Hillcrest, a mission home for the elderly in Harrison, Arkansas. After their wedding on April 13, 2013, she and Shannon made their home in Lititz, PA, where she was a member of Myerstown Mennonite Church.
Not long after giving birth to her son, Dylan, in May 2015 and shortly before she and Shannon planned to leave to serve at a mission on the island of Grenada, Janelle learned that she had cancer of the liver. She fought it courageously and was an inspiration to many with her positive attitude and quiet acceptance of the path God chose to allow for her. Her gentle spirit and fun-loving personality will be deeply missed.
The family will receive friends from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 12, 2016 at Cold Spring Mennonite Church, 226 Cold Spring Church Road, Abbeville, SC. Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 13, 2016 in Cold Spring Mennonite Church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions, in memory of Janelle, may be sent to Olive Branch Mennonite Mission, 87 Mountain Road, Denver, PA 17517.

I am so sorry for this tragic loss. God will surely comfort all with His grace and guidance. No, we cannot understand how such a wonderful person can be taken away after such a brief life. We have faith there is a majestic plan that is perfect for this circumstance and we don't understand it yet. God's mercy will help us to persevere to do the things that will honor her life. I pray that God will provide His undergirding empowerment to help all of her family live victoriously with happiness in memory of Janille's life.
Blessings to all of you,
Myron Martin
