==Early life and education==
Charleszetta Lena Campbell was born on October 7, 1912 in St. Louis, Missouri to Henry Campbell and Ella Brown.〔〔 She was the eldest of seven children, only three of whom survived to adulthood.〔 Her father Henry was a successful St. Louis barber who became financially ruined after he unknowingly gave a haircut to a customer with impetigo, a contagious skin disease, which subsequently caused the infection to spread to other clients who were members of his church congregation.〔〔 Her father died when she was 12,〔 and, despite being a successful student, she left school in Eighth Grade to get work as a housemaid and provide for her family.〔
The following year, Waddles found work as a sorter in a rag factory and later that year became pregnant by her 23-year-old boyfriend, who ended up leaving her.〔 In 1933, at age 21, she married LeRoy Wash, a 37-year-old truck driver, and the couple had six children together.〔 The family moved together to Detroit in 1936.〔 Waddles divorced Wash in 1945. She then lived in a common-law marriage with Roosevelt Sturkey and had three more children. In 1950 she married Payton Waddles, an employee of Ford Motor Company.
