Betty Faye Odom, 89, passed away March 19, 2025, at Fellowship Home of Nashville surrounded by family and friends.  She was born on March 7, 1936, to Phoenia Mathis Goodin and Joe Goodin in Berrien County, Georgia.

She attended Poplar Springs School and later graduated from Nashville High School in 1954.  She married the love of her life, Randall "Sonny" Jesse Odom on the front-porch of her parents' house in Nashville on Friday night, June 8, 1956. Together they raised three children: Kay, Rita, and Randy.  Later in life, when she returned to full-time work, she was the food service manager at various schools in Berrien County, retiring in 2008.

She was a person of remarkable faith, giving her life to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 18, 1964.  She was a faithful member of Trinity Holiness Church for over 60 years, teaching Sunday School and regularly feeding the out-of-town pastor or visiting evangelist. She was known throughout her church, family and community as a wonderful cook and hostess. She was known for her red velvet cake and creamed corn.  She and Sonny spent many of their summer days picking and putting up vegetables to feed their church, family, and community.

She loved her family and prayed faithfully for each of them daily.  She was a fighter, having beat cancer twice in the 1990s.  She enjoyed sewing, flower gardening, and shopping until she dropped.
