Tina will be remembered by her beautiful blue eyes, smile and an infectious laughter. She never met a stranger. She loved everybody for the person they were. If Tina could help someone who was in sorrow or pain it would make her day more complete. Tina was the most giving person that you could meet. Tina was born in Gillette, Wyoming, November 30, 1962, the daughter of George Gates and Cecilia Waldrop. As a seventh grader Tina moved with her family to Watford City, North Dakota where she graduated high school in 1981. Upon her graduation she worked various jobs until moving to Gillette in the mid 80?s where she met A.C. Percifield. They were married on May 19, 1989. The couple resided in Nevada until moving to Moorcroft in 1994. Here Tina worked tirelessly at her business, "Crook County Auto." She spent many hours at her shop, leaving only to watch her daughter Melinda play sports or take care of her mother-in-law, Shirley Percifield. Tina was a loving caretaker of her mother-in-law. She loved to go visit Shirley and make sure she had everything she needed to be comfortable. Tina loved her animals and being outside doing yard work. She was also very proud of her nieces and nephews. She loved hearing how they did in school and sports. She always demanded a hug. Her favorite saying was "Love you too."
