Kenneth Wayne Waller

Kenneth Wayne Waller, of Newnan, Georgia, went to be with his Lord on June 23, 2022. Kenneth was born on September 3, 1937 in DeWitt, Arkansas to the late George and Marjorie Waller, a farmer and a homemaker. He was a proud member of the DeWitt Dragons football team, where he was the first four-year varsity letterman in the history of the school. Kenneth attended Union Bible College in Westfield, Indiana. Kenneth wore many hats in his lifetime, both literally and figuratively. He worked as a minister, a farmer, a carpenter, a truck driver, a welder, a car salesman, and a bus driver. His ball cap collection numbered in the hundreds and included hats inherited from his father. Those hats could not contain the vast knowledge accumulated over the years from his many experiences. He had an insatiable curiosity and could fix almost anything, except a broken heart. Kenneth was preceded in death by the love of his life, Thelma Louise Waller, who passed away on May 24, 2022. Ken and Thelma were married on December 14, 1985 and they loved traveling. They visited almost every state and many other countries. They once danced at the World Square Dance Convention in Vienna, Austria. Kenneth leaves behind a sister, Carolyn Watson (Dave) of Zionsville, Indiana, two daughters, Tammy Waldrop of Senoia, Georgia and Traci Moody (Tim) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, five grandchildren, Dawn Hersey (Ryan), Shannon Waldrop, Joseph Waldrop (Courtney), Samantha South (Donald) and Stephanie Waller, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. He also leaves behind bonus son Ron Groninger, bonus daughter Linda Mahoney (Jim), bonus grandchildren Jill Mahoney, Matthew Mahoney, Ashley Mayabb and Kendall Sterling, and eight bonus great-grandchildren. They will all miss his amazing, detailed stories and explanations. Kenneth is preceded in death by his parents, George and Marjorie Waller, two brothers, George Waller Jr, and Roger Dale Waller, and two sisters, Mary Frances Lester and Elizabeth Ann Waller, and his only son, Timothy Carroll Waller. The funeral service celebrating Kenneth's life is Thursday, July 7, 2022, at 6:00 PM at Grace Community Fellowship Church, 75 Roscoe Road, in Newnan with Pastor Carl Greene officiating. The family will receive friends at the church on Thursday from 4:00 PM until service time.
