Martha Jane was born to Jess Henry and Eleanor Tubb on the 27th of September 1924, in Sweetwater, Texas, where she was the fourth child of five children. She was an exemplary student in high school, was the Class Valedictorian, graduating at the age of 16. She graduated from the University of Texas in Austin where she was in several organizations including Pi Beta Phi Sorority. While attending college she met the love of her life, Jack Aldred, and they were married in 1947. They were to have celebrated their 50th anniversary before Mr. Aldred’s death in 1997.
Martha Jane was a long time resident of Houston, Texas, and was actively involved in many civic organizations and events. She joined St. Philip Presbyterian Church in 1953 and was a devoted member and active volunteer up until her passing. She also enjoyed volunteering at the Blue Bird Circle for the last 28 years.
Martha Jane is preceded by her parents, and husband, as well as her siblings: Gwen Dods, Mickey Rea, John Tubb and Moses Tubb.
