Marla Odom Obituary

She was a lovely neighbor, she greeted both of us when we moved in next door with homemade apple butter. She will be missed, now she rests in peace

Marla was a sweet person,

I knew Marla from church. She was such a sweet lady and a blessing to have around. She was always serving the church in some capacity, and she was a wonderful teacher that the kids loved. I know she is in heaven with the Lord and all the pains of this world are left behind.

I first met Marla at Health South I worked with her and she was always a sweet person. We reconnected 2 years ago when me and my family attend Oak Grove and there she taught my son his very first Sunday school teacher. We are going to miss her so much. Love and prayers for with her family

Marla greeted us with her homemade apple butter when we first moved in next door to her. Such a sweet lady, I will miss her.....

Dear Terri and family, I´m so very sorry for your loss. She came to my Sunday school class for a while. She was a good, sweet person dedicated to the Lord and his church. Sincerely, Jean Wagner

I´m so sorry to hear about Marla. Prayers for your family!

Maria was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I know. She loved children at the church and they loved her. We are all heartbroken about her passing. She will be greatly missed. Rest in peace sweet Marla.

I had Marla when she was in our high school Sunday School Class. OGBC had really grown and we were out of room in the church building, so we had Sunday School in the "old church bus". Bill would pull it up in front of the church and our class would happily get on that bus and learn about Jesus. Marla had mentioned this to me a year or so ago. She was always a positive influence to all on that bus or anywhere else she served. Her mother Betty and my mother Maysie shared a room at Wexford House Nursing home. I got to know Marla and Bree better during that time. I had Teri in Training Union Class when she was a teenager. This family, each one of them was special to me. I will definitely miss those good, loving hugs she gave me at church. I love you sweet lady, see you in Heaven!!Much Love, Brenda Philyaw

My first memory of Marla is her riding her unicycle up and down the hills of West Ridge. She was always smiling and friendly. Our hearts and prayers are with each of you!
