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.

The Philadelphia memorial service will take place on February 3, 2012 @ 2 pm. Location: Canaan Baptist Church, 5430 Pulaski Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19144. Repast will immediately follow in the Fellowship Hall. 

The North Carolina memorial service will be held at Unity Church located at 108 Hewes Street (off of Stratford Rd) on Saturday, February 11, 2012 @ 2 p.m. Repast will immediately follow.

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!!!

Hey Momi, it's been 8 years since you physically left us. Wow! Life is good right now, your grandkids are good and your great-grandson is growing beautifully. I know you see this as I can feel your spirit everyday. Codi aka Scoopa grabs for my urn necklace every time I have it on. Also, he looks up at this picture of you and talks to it all of the time. I know you're here...my Angel. I miss you so much! A mother's love is the closest you can get to God's unconditional love; therefore no one compares. I love you more than words can ever say. Until we meet again...God-willing. ❤

I wish you were here physically so i could bounce some stuff off you and get your advise but, I hear your voice as I take the baby steps and know you are guiding me every step of the way!! Love you Sis...until we meet again.

Happy Birthday Momi! You know I still talk to you a lot, it calms my nerves sometime. I kept thinking about funny moments with you today and lord knows there are plenty of them to keep me laughing. You were such a funny lady! Although I know that the memories we shared will live on forever, I would give anything to make more memories with you...I just miss you so much. I wonder if by now, at 65, you would've had all the grey hair you always wanted, lol. Well, continue to rest well my love and know that I love you for eternity Queen. With love, your baby girl XOXOXO

Hey Momi,
It'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! Wheeew, Lord knows I miss you :-)

Although you are gone, you will always be remembered. I miss your voice calling my name in a unique way. A sense of humor, a special lady who encouraged, willing to share her knowledge to help others. A lady who was about business, would say do this and this will happen. I regret not having the opportunity to see you again. Several calls were made, heard your voice,never set a date ; . LUM

Hey Momi, it's been a little over a month since you left. I find myself getting ready to pick up the phone and call you...especially when a good movie is on that I know you like or you would love to watch. I miss you so much and I'm hanging on to all of the memories I have with you. I so wish you were here! I haven't played phase 10 since my last time with you. It's not the same.

I went to your memorial service today and it still doesn't seem real. I know what you added to my life in the short time I knew you, but to listen to different people stand and say what you meant to them was awe-inspiring. Mashelle, thanks for being a mentor and a friend. I will miss your earthly presence, but you have left a legacy and I will continue to learn from your example.

To the family...our prayers are sincerely with you. Mashelle was truly a jewel. She was always encouraging to my children (TT and Anthony) telling them to stay focused, be a leader and not a follower. I appreciate her being real & always supportive of events or occasions held in honor of others. Her testimony touched the women at the prayer breakfast held in my home...special memory.

abundance mentality. Your mantra was, “What you think about, you bring about.” I carry that with me every day. I thank God for a season filled with love, laughter, friendship and GREAT fun. I’m sad that we will not have more chances to spend together on earth, but I have JOY knowing that we’ll meet again in Paradise for all Eternity.

Mashelle, I called you the Great Teacher. You could enroll people in the grandness of their dreams. You loved playing cards with Mom and me, and you loved my soup when you were sick. You taught me how to taste a little luxury and enjoy it. We went to see The Secret Life of Bees together, and you you made me eat a tub of buttered popcorn with you! Unforgettable shared moments.love, Ana

I will truly miss My Big Sister, Mashelle for her GREGARIOUS PERSONALITY! She never met a stranger. Yes, Mashelle that's what I am talking about. I can hear you repeating my words to me as I teased how you walk and we both agreed that we were just crazy about loving ourselves and our lives. Mashelle was caring, bold and fearless in exploring and expressingher TRUTH. I will miss her dearly!

Mother's Day

January 24, 2012

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....

Carmella
