Betty "Joe" Odom, was a great person full of life and loved her Church Family. Betty was also a devoted Christian who loved to sing at Church until she became unable due to her health. Every Christmas she was a guest speaker in which she had everyone laughing . May the lord be with Betty´s family and give them comfort during this Difficult Time.
