Obituary of Lana Waller
Please share a memory of Lana to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Lana Beth (Lindsey) Waller was born June 4, 1956 in Falfurrias, TX to James Winston Lindsey & Julie Evelyn McCoy and passed from this life April 11, 2014 in Tulsa, OK at the age of 57.
Lana was a self starter and had to work hard for everything she achieved in life. She went to work for Hollywood Marine in Houston, TX and put herself through college. While working fulltime she passed the Certified Public Accountant exam on the first time. She worked for Hollywood Marine for 23 years and moved to Tulsa in 2000. She went to work at Citgo Petroleum before going to ONEOK. She was an expert in energy accounting (oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, barge transportation) and mentored many fellow employees.
She loved her step children, Shawn and Stephanie, and grandson, Axton Blake Weber. She loved professional football (Dallas Cowboys!) and baseball. She enjoyed Friday nights at the Tulsa Drillers with her husband and took her grandson to his first baseball game there. She was a very caring, loving and giving person, always thinking of and helping others.
Lana was preceded in death by her father, James Winston Lindsey and Uncle Bill Lindsey. She is survived by her mother, Julie Evelyn McCoy (Lindsey) and step father Michael Daum; her husband Otto Paul Strizek; her step children Shawn Paul and Stephanie Anne Strizek; her grandson Axton Blake Weber; her sisters, Denise and Cindy Lindsey; her brother, Jimmy Lindsey; her niece, Cassie Lindsey; and her Aunt and Uncle, Doug and JoAnn Fiol.
A memorial service will be held at 10:00 am Saturday, April 19, 2014 at All Souls Unitarian. Because Lana was such as patriot and supporter of the US military, in lieu of flowers the family suggests contributions in Lana's memory be made to Folds of Honor, 5800 N. Patriot Drive, Owasso, OK 74055.
