Tina Marie Staggs Teeftaller Hudgins

Tina Marie Staggs Teeftaller Hudgins was born December 7, 1964 in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee to the late Thomas Junior and Shirley Jo Clayton Staggs. When she was able, Tina attended the Collinwood Church of God. She was perhaps her happiest when she was spending time with her family on the beach. Tina also enjoyed reading and listening to music. However, she will be remembered for her loving smile and friendly demeanor that greeted everyone who entered the Waynesboro Quik Mart. Tina was sure to try to make your day better even when she was not having a good day herself. She was always available for a conversation and to try to help brighten someone’s day. It did not take long talking to her, she would begin talking about her daughter Jana and her own brother and sisters. She departed this life on Friday, July 17, 2026 in Jackson, TN, making her stay in this life some 61 years, 7 months, and 10 days.
