Our beloved Wife and Mother, Martha Kirkland Vrana of Waco, TX was called home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 24th, at the age of 82. Born November 12, 1937 she was raised in Fort Worth, TX by her loving parents, Laston and Dollie Kirkland. She graduated from R.L. Paschal High School in 1956. After graduating, Martha worked at General Dynamics in Fort Worth, TX until she met her future husband, Edward James Vrana. Ed and Martha were married on February 9, 1962 in Fort Worth, TX. They moved to Waco that same year where they started a beautiful marriage that lasted 58 years. Martha’s full-time job was to create a loving home to her husband and two sons, Keith and Scott Vrana. Martha volunteered in many organizations through St. Louis Catholic Church, including St. Anne’s Circle, Mother’s Club, and the Alter Boy organization. She also was very involved in both St. Louis Catholic School and Reicher Catholic High School, serving both schools in many capacities. Martha considered all her sons’ classmates as her own children. Martha and Ed were also a fixture at many Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity functions. They were honored by the Mayor of San Marcos, TX who issued a proclamation awarding both as Honorary Citizens of San Marcos where their sons attended Southwest Texas State University.
