A graduate of Georgia State University and Lanier Technical College, Odette excelled in her work as an Executive Secretary, but her true love was being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

We all know in our hearts that a unique flower will now bloom forever in Heaven. We all miss her terribly, but rejoice that she is now home.
