Martha Tigner Wall 1942 - 2026 Martha Tigner Wall, 83, was born on October 21, 1942, in Lynn, Alabama to Josie Allen and Lawson Tigner. She passed on June 18, 2026, in her home in Osyka. A graveside ser- vice was held on June 20, at Osyka Cemetery at 10:30AM.

Rev. Jacob Williams did officiate. Hartman Jones Funeral Home of McComb was in charge of arrangements.

Martha was a faithful daughter that took care of her invalid mother until her mother passed. On January 22, 1972, in Kentwood, LA, she married the love of her life, Dennis Ray Wall; together they migrated to Osyka and created "Wall Hill". This was their peace of Heaven on earth.

They stayed devoted to each other for some 51 years and raised a large family on Wall Hill. Martha worked in the public for most of her life and enjoyed serv- ing her customers in all of her jobs. She retired from First Bank in 2015 to come home and take care of her husband and family.

Martha was always a family first woman. She was a God- fearing woman who loved her family with all of her being. Being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great- grandmother was her joy in this life.

She antici- pated her daily phone call of each of her 5 daughters. If she didn't get it, she would check their location and call to see where they were located and just why they had not called. For her daughters, "Going to Mama's house was always special".

Martha was pre- ceded in death by her parents; her husband Dennis Ray Wall; 3 sis- ters Betty L. Blades, who was her twin sister, Faye Price, and Ozell Pendley; and 2 brothers John and Bill. Cherishing her memories always will be her 5 daughters: Connie Wall, Sherri Wall, the "twins" Karen Wall and Sharon Wall (Tony) and Sierra Wall; 9 grandchil- dren Earl Reed (Ashley), Zachary Wall, Devin Wall, Toni Wall, Haylie Wall, Dylan Wall, Kobe Wall, and A'Yanna Perkins; 9 great-grand- children Ashton, Alan, Raylon, Amia, Elle, Messiah, Collin, Leilani, and Londyn.

Martha also leaves a bonus daughter, Crystal Ott Jordan and a host of nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741.
