Kaylee Runnels Martin's Obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Kaylee Runnels Martin. Wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. After a hard fight, she left us on January 28, 2025 at the age of 28. She was born on October 25, 1996 in Alexandria, Louisiana and though cut short, her life was filled with many accomplishments and so much joy. She was a kind, patient person who never met a stranger. She has touched so many lives and continues to do so even after her death.
Kaylee was truly an inspiring person. She loved being a mother to her precious daughter, Annalynn. She was a loving wife to her husband Kevin, who always stood by her side. With them Kaylee was building a life that she was so proud of. Her love for her family was unwavering and her household was completed by her two dogs (Theo and Sage) and her flock of chickens.
She is survived by her loving husband Kevin and their sweet daughter Annalynn. She leaves behind her parents Kenneth Runnels (Monica) of Nacogdoches, Texas, and LaNae Belsha (Ronnie) of DeRidder, Louisiana. She is also survived by two sisters who love her endlessly, Magen Runnels and Coree Runnels of Leesville, Louisiana. She was blessed with the love and support of her paternal grandparents Joe and Reda Runnels of Leesville, Louisiana. She also leaves behind her maternal grandparents Patricia and Lane Belsha of Anacoco, Louisiana.
We invite her friends and family to join us in the celebration of her beautiful life. Kaylee’s visitation will be held at Simpson Baptist Church on Friday, January 31, 2025 from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. until the time of her service.
