Gloria Martell

Gloria Martell CHARLESTOWN — Gloria Martell, 67, Charlestown, NH passed away on July 15, 2022 at her home. “Gram” as she was known by many as, born in Claremont, NH on June 3, 1955 to Andrew and Helen (Garneau) Granger. She married Brad Martell on September 23, 1983. Their marriage was a strong bond, never straying too far from each other. When you saw one you knew the other wasn’t far away. Many would say they were perfect for each other. There was a good balance of love and annoyance for sure. They were long time residents of Claremont until 2005 when they moved to Charlestown, NH to settle their roots. They raised two children. Traveling them all over for basketball. Coaching for several years and doing a lot of volunteering at the GCC in Claremont. She was blessed with 5 grandchildren and even welcoming a great grandson just before her passing. Gloria was a lover of racing. She was her son and grandsons’ biggest fan when they were on the track whether it was stock car or go kart. She enjoyed many long weekends camping at Running Bear, making several new friends and creating memories to last a lifetime. She worked prior to retiring at the Charlestown Middle School in the lunchroom where she inherited several new “grandchildren”. She was big into family and if you stuck around long enough you lost the friendship status and became family status. She was known for her funny sense of humor and her ability to make people laugh. Gloria is survived by her husband of 38 years, Brad. Her daughter, Christy. Christy’s children, Andrew and his partner, Sarah and their children, Elizah Rose and Grayson John; and Madison and her partner, Sam. Her son’s children, Kenzie, Logan and Ryder along with their mom, Keri. Brother, Michael and his partner, Mitzie. Nieces, Jessica and her partner, Greg, and Echo and her partner, Daryl. Great nieces and great nephews, several cousins and lots of close friends as well as a whole in-law family. She is predeceased by her parents, Andrew and Helen Granger. Her brother, John.
