Martha Wallace-Jones
Wife of Alan Jones, Mathmatics Professor

September 26, 2018
Martha Wallace-Jones, 67, died on September 26, 2018. Martha was active in the Brattleboro (Vermont) performing arts community and a dedicated patron of the Brooks Memorial Library. After high school, Martha took a year off to study the organ before moving to California to attend Mills College in 1969. However she spent more time at student protests than classes so she returned to Putney in the early seventies where she met and married Alan Jones. Soon after, they moved to Mesa Arizona for two years where Alan studied and taught mathematics at ASU. Eventually they returned to Vermont where Alan took a job teaching math at BUHS and Martha began acting, directing and dancing in local productions. Martha worked for years as a typist, transcriptionist and office manager for local publications and authors but she was most known for her performances in numerous productions for The Actors Theatre, Brattleboro School of Dance and Brattleboro Center for the Performing Arts. Martha is survived by her daughter, three sisters, five nieces and her nephew. She is predeceased by her husband, Alan Jones, her sister, her mother who died just ten days before she did, and her father. The family will hold a private memorial celebration of Martha's life.
