Tommy Eugene Wratchford, Sr. age 74 of Moorefield, WV, passed away Thursday afternoon, January 2, 2025, at his residence. Born on October 28, 1950, in Moorefield, WV, he was the son of the late John Cleal Raymond Wratchford and Effie Lee Mayhew Wratchford. His wife, Veda Arbutus “Bootie” Wratchford preceded him in death in September 2011. A brother and three sisters also preceded him in death.
Tommy, known for his easy-going spirit and love for the open road, spent over 30 years as a truck driver, delivering goods and stories alike wherever his wheels took him. He lived life on his own terms, with a deep appreciation for the great outdoors—hunting and fishing were among his favorite pastimes. In his downtime, he relished tinkering as a makeshift backyard mechanic, always ready to lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need.
Surviving is a daughter Melinda (James) Blaine of Moorefield, WV; two sons, Mark A. (Tammy) Wratchford and Tommy E. Wratchford, Jr. of Moorefield, WV; brothers, Raymond Wratchford, Jr. & Frank Wratchford of Moorefield, WV; sisters, Becky Alt, Lilly Cassell & Dami Carr of Moorefield, WV; nine grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren.
