I met Odessa at arbor ridge where my parents lived for a short period of time. When my mother passed, Odessa sat with my dad while they waited for their food. She was the sweetest lady and always so positive. So sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers to her family.
While I’ve known Great Aunt Odessa for my entire life, my most recent and fondest memory is when she and Susan visited our garden center to search for the perfect piece of garden art to display in front of her Main Street home. She was looking for the perfect piece that represented her and her two sisters. We wandered for a bit and all talked for a bit, and then she found it! She was so excited! When I offered to help her lift it, she said, “no, I got it, Lindsay!” This was a solid piece of concrete! Needless to say, we helped her to her car, but I never doubted her strength to move this memory from our garden center to her home, by herself. I feel so blessed to have shared so many moments with her, Great Uncle Jack, Great Aunt Liz, Great Mamaw Torrence, and everyone in between. ❤️
My mother, Marie Delinger Black, and Odessa were best friends since the first grade. They are reunited in heaven now.
Ms. Odessa was truly a woman before her time. Getting to know her while she was a resident of Arbor Ridge, was such a blessing.
I will always have dear memories of the time we spent together.
Simply put Odessa was the best person I have ever known. I will miss her for the rest of my life.
