Dorcas Martell

Dorcas Martell, age 89 of Pembroke Pines, Florida, peacefully passed away on June 25th, 2025. She was born in Manhattan, New York to the late Narciso Martinez and Lydia Kercado.
She is survived by her daughters: Enid Martell and her husband Nelyson De Jesus, Wanda Martell and her husband Jerry Latorre and Vivian Rowe; Granddaughters: Victoria Rowe, Isabella Rowe, Neysa De Jesus, Krystal Basora and Carol Basora; Gransons: Gabriel De Jesus and Elijah Latorre; Great-Grandchildren: Elias Sanchez, Jeremiah Irizarry, Kaylah Melendez, Gabriella De Jesus and Daniella De Jesus.
She was a God-fearing woman who impacted her family and everyone she encountered by preaching the Gospel and walking by faith. Her life demonstrated Christ, she encouraged everyone she met to have a real relationship with God through prayer. She knew the importance of prayer, and her life truly reflected her walk with Christ.
You may have known her as a mother, a sister, an aunt, a wife, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, or a friend. Every role she had, she embraced and fulfilled with grace and love. She will forever be in our hearts and minds.
Like she always said, "I pray for you, and you pray for me."
May her legacy be passed down to generations to come.
We love you always, our Queen, Dorcas Martell.
