This memorial website was created in the memory of our mother, Mashelle Odom, 57, born on August 2, 1954 and passed away on January 14, 2012.

We will forever remember a very special woman who touched the lives of many. Mashelle was a phenomenal woman, devoted mother as well as grandmother. She loved her family and enjoyed making those precious moments that will last beyond the end of time.
To truly honor our mother, just remember her beautiful smile, warm and loving spirit, inspirational and encouraging words, and courage. I know the general consensus is that she is 'gone too soon' but know that God doesn't make mistakes and our mom's spirit will forever be in all the hearts she so brilliantly touched.
Rest in Peace, Momi. We love you!!!

Leave a tributeIt's been 7 whole years and it's still sore. I'm always thinking about all of the good times and funny moments that we've shared together. Remember the time we were in Food Lion and I was pushing the cart & ran into the back of your ankles? You chased me around the store trying to pop me for like 3 minutes, LOL. I sure do miss you! Your grandsons are doing well, your son in law is good, I'm always striving to be better and Lena has done it again...she graduates college in May...another one under her belt but of course, you know all this because you're always with us. I love you and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and smile or shed a tear. I will continue to make you proud my Queen. May you continue to rest well! Until the day we meet again...MUAH!

Mother's Day
It was Mother's Day. I'm not sure of the year but it was in the early to mid 90's. Chrissy, Trina and myself worked for weeks preparing a Mother's Day show for our mom's. We danced and we sang until we couldn't dance or sing anymore, but we were ready. The show took place in my basement. I cooked dinner....I think it was Turkey wings, string beans that were TOO salty and I can't remember what else....Oh, cornbread too.
Ms. Mashelle, Ms. Debbie and my mom were so proud and happy that day. I can still see the big smile on her face. She loved the three of us and wanted nothing but the best for all of us. I could talk to her about things I couldn't talk to my mom about and she would listen without judging and then tell me her thoughts. That meant a lot to me.
Say hello to my momma for me. She's one of GOD's newest Angels too.
Until we meet again....
