Obituary
Veatrice “Vee” M. Odom, also known as Granny Goose, passed away on April 20, 2020.
She was born on March 26, 1928, in Livingston, Tennessee, to Walter and Velma Conner.
Vee moved to Indiana in 1952 to begin her career at Sheller-Globe and raised her family. She retired from Sheller-Globe in the early 1980s. After retirement, she became a full-time homemaker and gardener.
Vee was a lifetime member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and a member of the American Legion, South Salem Church of Christ and Randolph County Garden Club. She was an avid bowler, gardener, seamstress and quilter. Every spring she would increase the size of her flower beds, canning closet and vegetable garden (even if it flowed over to her neighbor’s yard). Her favorite pastimes were playing cards, dominoes and word puzzles. She loved to attend functions of her grandchildren and she never saw a rummage sale she did not stop at. She was a resident for the past five years at the Lodge of Summers Pointe in Winchester, where she felt they were her second family.
Vee is survived by her children, Shirley Garrett (wife: Caryl), Stanley Garrett (wife: Georgia), Sarah Duren, Tony Odom (wife: Cindy), Scott Garrett (wife: Karen), Pat Odom (wife: Ann Marie), Star Jenkinson (husband: Rodney E.), Terry Garrett (wife: Julie) and Marcia Silvers (husband: Phil); 33 grandchildren; 74 great-grandchildren and 44 great-great-grandchildren; her sister, Ruby Leetta Woody; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her spouse of 42 years, Harold Odom; her parents Walter and Velma Conner; two sons, Mike Odom and Stacey Garrett; siblings Clois Conner, Kenny Ray Conner, EJ Conner and Odell Conner; and her great-grandson Brandon Stewart.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date for the community, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you for your understanding during this troubling time.
Memorial contributions may be made to State of the Heart Hospice, 1350 N. Broadway, Greenville, OH 45331.
Walker Funeral Home in Winchester is entrusted with the arrangements.
