Tina Marie Waddell

Tina Marie (Ray) Waddell, of Gravois Mill's, MO, passed away on June 14, 2016, at the University of Missouri Hospital, at Columbia. She was born on August 16, 1960 in Lebanon, MO. The daughter of Johnie I. Ray and Julia F. (Markum) Ray, also of Gravois Mill's.
On October 15, 1977, she was united in marriage to John David "Dave" Waddell. For 39 years their love kept growing; where Dave was, Tina was, and where Tina was, Dave was. It was a true love affair!
She also had the same passion for Harley's. She was a true "Biker", and proud to say it. She never complained about weather or hour's she was in the saddle, she is truly one of a kind.
Tina was very proud she finished high school, she was married in the early part of her senior year, but graduated in May of '78 from Morgan County R-II in Versailles.
Though Tina loved her bike life style, her three sons were her life. A devoted mother who was so proud to see her boys grow up and become the men they are and how they are taking care of their family. Tina was very loving, but could be very firm with the boys. They knew when to straighten up. She always told them "Wait ‘til your Daddy gets home."
Tina will be missed by family and friends. She never had an enemy; always would talk to anybody.
Tina leaves behind her husband Dave; father, Johnie I. Ray both of Gravois Mill's; three sons, John A. Waddell and wife Angela; they have three sons; Anthony, Rylan, and Joel all of Richland, NC. John has one son from a previous marriage, Johnathon, who lives in Michigan. Joseph W. Waddell and wife Kat; they have one daughter Shea and one on the way all of Boulevard, CA. William H.

Ray and wife Melissa all of Gravois Mill's; many nieces and nephews and friends. She has a total of twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild. She will be missed by all.
