Kenneth G. Waddell

Kenneth Gayle Waddell went to sleep at his home and woke up in the presence of the Lord on December 10, 2017. He was born July 31, 1934 in Weatherford, OK to Herbert and Hazel Waddell. Kenneth attended Weatherford high school where he lettered in basketball. He left high school early and served 2 years in the US Army. During this time, he met Joyce Lee Boyd and they were married on Christmas Day in 1955. After the Army, Kenneth moved to Penwell, TX and worked for the US Postal Service as a letter carrier for 34 years in Odessa, TX and Oklahoma City retiring in 1989. After retirement, he loved just relaxing and watching TV, especially sports. Kenneth was a big sports fan and the OU-Texas game was one of his favorite and most stressful of the year. He is survived by his wife, Joyce, children Bob and Denise Waddell, Karen Waddell, Brenda and Jeff Cover and Greg Waddell and 3 grandsons, Colin Waddell and wife Melissa, Clayton Waddell and Braden Cover. Kenneth was a perfectionist when it came to providing for his family and making sure they were taken care of. The most important day of his life was when he asked Jesus to come into his heart and was baptized by his father-in-law, John W. Boyd. He will be missed but his life will live on in eternity with his Lord and his family. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, December 14, 2017 at Spring Creek Memorial Cemetery.
