The Valencia Conselleria of Culture, where Fenollar enjoyed a prominent theatrical career, expressed profound sorrow over her passing via social media. They highlighted her numerous accolades received throughout her artistic journey and conveyed heartfelt sympathies to her family, colleagues, and friends.

Born in Alicante in 1965, Fenollar made significant contributions to some of the most iconic Spanish television series of recent years. Her impressive portfolio includes roles in productions such as Aída, Hospital Central, El Comisario, Yo soy Bea, El auténtico Rodrigo Leal, and Compañeros. Her influence extended notably to the stage, particularly in Valencia, where she participated in various productions by the Centre Dramàtic de la Generalitat Valenciana and Teatres de la Generalitat.

Throughout her career, Fenollar was honored with several awards, including the Premi Narcís in 2020, bestowed by the Actors i Actrius Professionals Valencians (AAPV), alongside actor Manolo Ochoa. In 2022, she received the Llàntia de Honor from the Premis José Estruch, again with Ochoa, recognizing her outstanding trajectory in the performing arts and her establishment as a beacon of honesty and commitment in the realms of theater, television, and cinema.

Manolo Copé, the EU-Podem councilor in the Alicante City Council, expressed his condolences, stating, "Her legacy will endure in the memory of those who knew and admired her," underscoring the lasting impact Fenollar made on her peers and the broader artistic community.
