Martha Jane was employed by Lubbock Independent School District for 32 years.  She taught at Alderson Junior High School for 5 years and was a counselor at Mackenzie Junior High School for 27 years.

The lives of her children and the bond they shared were paramount to Martha Jane. She lived for family gatherings and cherished every moment spent together. From shared laughter to heartfelt conversations, Martha Jane possessed a remarkable ability to make every occasion feel special and memorable.

In addition to the lives of her children, Martha Jane had a special bond with the kids she came in contact with at school.  Martha Jane also helped several friends of her children, taking them in when they were in need of help.

She is survived by: her husband, Mike Waller; their children: Chad and wife Tarrah-Shea Waller; and Carrie Waller; grandchildren: Presley, Piper, and Paylen Waller; and sister, Mary Ann Keierleber.  She is preceded in death by her son: Christopher Michael Waller and her parents, Raymond and Christine Greene.

My condolences to the Waller family. I have fond memories of Martha Jane working at Mackenzie. She was so great working with the cheerleaders for years and years and I am sure influenced them in so many wonderful ways. Her calligraphy skills were amazing also and I can’t image how many hours she spent using them to make student’s’ certificates as stunning as their accomplishments. May your wonderful memories of her heal y’all’s hearts and put the smiles on y’all’s faces.

Martha Jane and I knew each other from long ago. We met in college and we’re roommates. She would often tell me that Greg, my now husband, was a good catch. Boy was she right! After 53 years of marriage she continued to say that. We spent so many fun outings together, sharing family times together at the lake as well as just acting silly together! Our husbands definitely had to “put up with us”, as did our kids. An absolutely wonderful family full of life. Martha Jane always put family and friends first and was so creative during our times together. Greg and I send our love and warmest sympathy to you Mike, Chad, Carrie. I know that we now have Martha Jane and Chris looking down to watch over all of us. May God’s love and mercy abound in its fullness. 🙏🏻
