About Eloise Martin
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Eloise Martin (“Weezi” and “G-Ball”), age 83, on January 15, 2026, at Banner Desert Hospital in Mesa, Arizona, following a brief illness. Eloise was a loving, family-oriented mother who valued independence and deeply believed in helping others.
Born in Laurel, Mississippi, Eloise’s greatest joy was her family. She lived for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchild— they were her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Her legacy of love, generosity, and devotion to family will continue to guide those she leaves behind. Eloise is proceeded in death by her parents, one brother, one sister and two children.
Eloise is survived by her four children; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; three siblings; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. Eloise’s acts of kindness were freely given, as she always offered herself and her help to anyone in need.
A service to honor Eloise’s life will be held on February 4, 2026, 3:00pm at the Bunker’s Garden Chapel in Mesa, Arizona.

You were my cousin, but you loved me like an auntie. “ I wish I could tell you one more time how much you meant to me. Even though you’re gone from this world, your spirit lives on in my heart. I hope you’re at peace, watching over us with that same love you always gave!
