Dolores M. Martel Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on November 20, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Dolores M. Martel of Melrose, Massachusetts. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Dolores M. Martel to show support.

As we bid Dolores farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Dolores is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Daniel Perelli and Helen Perelli (Sciarappa); her former husband William R. Porcello; her husband Leo F. Martel; and her siblings, Daniel Perelli and Sandra Barbaro.

She is survived by: her children, Donna (Paul Marquis) of Hooksett, NH and Steven Porcello; and her boyfriend Dominic Forgione.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Dolores's name to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Grand Central Station PO Box 4777 New York, NY 10163.
