Beatrice Odom's Obituary
On August 5, 2020 at 10:12 PM our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend gained her wings, after a very long and courageous battle with cancer.
Beatrice was known for her strong willed nature, her adorable sense of humor and her sometimes fiery personality. She loved scary movies, rearranging furniture, watching The Jazz, Elvis and decorating for the holidays. She always made the best fried eggs and birthday cakes and had the cutest little dance when she was feeling goofy or a song she liked came on.
Most importantly, Bebe was a mother… to everyone. She had four children of her own but in small and large part, raised many. She lived for her children and grandchildren and forged incredibly deep, meaningful and unique relationships with each one. She was always there for you when you needed someone, even while her own battle was being fought.
We have dreaded the thought of this day coming and now that it has, the void is all too real and cannot be filled. We can only find peace in knowing you are no longer in pain, can finally keep an eye on all of us at the same time and be with Grandpa Chuck again.
Our lives may never be the same without you, but are all the better because of you.
Beatrice is preceded in death by her mother and father Julian and Mary Garcia; brothers Toby and Solomon Garcia and her husband Charles Odom. She is survived in death by sister Estella (Basil) Crevier, brothers Gilbert (Rose), Dale (Francis) and George (Anna) Garcia; her children Carolyn (Ken) Dorsey, Lisa (Kim) Odom, Floyd (Angela) Mascarenaz and Gina Mascarenaz, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, August 11, 2020 at Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 4th Avenue and T Street.
