Rheanne Anissa Martin

Rheanne Anissa Martin, affectionately known as Rhe-Rhe, transitioned peacefully on August 25, 2025, at 9:47 AM, after a courageous battle with illness. Born on October 15, 1990, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Rheanne was the beloved daughter of the late Rona Simmons Martin, who hailed from the Caribbean, and the late Darnell Martin.

At just 34 years old, Rheanne lived a vibrant and multifaceted life, filled with both challenges and triumphs. She spent her formative years in her hometown of McKeesport, where she attended McKeesport High School. Following her graduation, she explored various career paths, including roles as a nursing assistant and a security officer, showcasing her dedication to helping others.

Rheanne was a devoted mother who cherished her two children, Erheion Aliece Bates and Austin Lee Wise. Her laughter and warmth brought joy to those around her, and she treasured the moments spent with family and friends. Rheanne had a passion for cooking and drawing, and she loved to celebrate life through shopping, dancing, and listening to her favorite artist, Gucci Mane.

She leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory in their hearts: her cherished grandparents, Mary Mikell (Frank Michael, deceased), Maria Felix, and Roy Simmonds; her brothers, Jarrell Bostic and Tyler Langford; and her sisters, Raven and Diamond Martin and Rhianna Simmons. She was preceded in death by her sister, Renesia Petrus.

In addition to her immediate family, Rheanne is survived by a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close.

As we remember Rheanne, let us celebrate her spirit, her laughter, and the love she shared with all who knew her. May her legacy of joy and resilience continue to uplift us.
