How I loved Mrs. O’Dell! She was a wonderful woman and you could definitely tell she was a woman of God. I will miss her witty remarks that always mad me laugh and the way she made her bed with such precision. Her presence will be greatly missed at Oakwood.
One of the most wonderful women I got the privilege of caring for. Incredibly stubborn, but always making jokes and checking on everyone else until the end. Will cherish every moment with her. Rest easy. My condolences and love to the family members I’ve met and those I didn’t get the opportunity to.
