Geraldine “Jerrie” Waddle, 77, left her earthly home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, October 7, 2014. She passed peacefully at home with her family by her side. Jerrie was born March 22, 1937, in Norman, to Frank and Nelma Tarbet.

Jerrie was the second of two children. She grew up in Norman and graduated from Norman High School. In January 1959, she married the love of her life, Don Waddle. They lived and raised their 3 children in their Norman home. They were blessed with 53 wonderful years of marriage before Don’s passing. Jerrie worked as a Deputy Treasurer in the Cleveland County Treasurers office until her children were born and then devoted her life to raising them. Jerrie was very active in the little church she was raised in and always loved and served her Lord. She and Don taught many Sunday School classes and served as youth directors for many years. Jerrie was known for her sweet loving spirit, her writing and drawing talent and her humor.

She is survived by her children, Cheryl Barton and husband, Rick, of the home; Mike Waddle and wife Melinda of San Antonio, TX and Christopher Waddle and husband Kevin Harden of Sherman, TX.  Six grandchildren, Amanda Widener and husband Bill, Meridian MS; Jarred Fry and wife Heather, Moore, OK; Justin Waddle and wife Alicia, Kilgore, TX; Katelynn Blalock and husband Dustin, Norman, OK; Tyler Waddle, Kilgore, TX and Miranda Barton, Norman, OK. Three great-grandchiildren, Kimberly and Beau Fry and Payton Widener and one to arrive in May. She is also survived by her loving sister, Barbara Tarbet; Sister-in-law Shirley Rider and Brother-in-law Keith Waddle and wife Shirley; many nieces and nephews and very special cousin, Sharon Stone.

The family would like to thank the staff of 21st Century Home Health for their many years of care and recently the staff of Loving Care Hospice. Most importantly, her caregivers and “adopted daughters” Heather Graves and Sherri Chesnut. Your love and care meant so much to her.
