Let the memory of Mashelle be with us forever

57 years old
Born on August 2, 1954
Passed away on January 14, 2012

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 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.

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 :-)

March 15, 2012

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

February 21, 2012

Hey Momi:
It is 38 days since you've gone and 42 days since I had a conversation with you. Although I talk to you on a daily basis, I miss your responses, your love, and your wisdom. I still cannot wrap my brain around the fact that you are absent in the physical. I miss you Momi but your memory lives forever. I love you...Until we meet again!

February 20, 2012

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. ILY!

February 11, 2012

Mashelle, you were awesome. We will always remember your joy and your awe inspired influence on all of us who knew you. You will always be in our heart!! Thanks for being YOU!! Love you, Ellen

February 11, 2012

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.

February 6, 2012

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.

February 3, 2012

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. R.I.P. my FRIEND. I will remember you ALWAYS! Camille

Mashelle, my girl, my business partner, my friend. It’s been almost 3 weeks and it’s still unbelievable. We met at my cousin’s baby shower and two weeks later I was your 1st recruit in Mary Kay. We had so much fun travelling together to New Orleans, San Antonio, the Poconos and our numerous trips to Dallas. You taught me how to write positive affirmations, to journal and to develop an abundan

January 31, 2012

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

January 31, 2012

To Mashelle's family: When I meet you at the NC memorial on Feb 11th, I'll be able to tell you again how much I loved and admired the wonderful Mashelle Odom. She lit up any room she entered and filled it with her warmth, intelligence, joy, loyalty and loving nature. Can't believe she's gone. We were all so fortunate to have her among us! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

January 31, 2012

Chrissy and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Mashelle, she was such a wonderful person with a beautiful smile all the time! May God continue to be with you and keep his warm and loving arms around you! Mashelle will truly be missed but not forgotten!

The 1800 Block of Elston St. Block Committee would like to extend our Prayers and Love to the family of Mashelle. I will always remember Mashelle for her beautiful and warm smile, Mashelle was better known to me as the Mary Kay Lady with the pink car lol. I an not even sure how I met Mashelle but I do remember her having two successful Mary Kay demonstrations in my home .

January 29, 2012

To the family, my heart is indeed touched by the passing of our loved one. M was a very unique person and I enjoyed the time we spent together. She was very encouraging. She helped it happen.....my "new Home". God bless you all, knowing that a part of her is in you comforts my heart. Much Love.

January 28, 2012

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!

I dedicated my Master's degree to you, Momi!!! Thank you for all you taught me. This one's for you!❤

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....
