Frank Odom Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Frank was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and later moved to Wright City, where he met the love of his life, Diane. They were married on May 7, 1989, in Foristell, Missouri, and eventually made their home in Licking. Frank was known for his infectious humor, always bringing laughter to family gatherings. His love for fishing, football, and storytelling was evident, but nothing brought him more joy than sharing stories about his cherished grandchildren.
Frank is preceded in death by his parents, Artie Odom and Lillie Henry, and his brothers, Nick Odom and Perry Odom.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Diane; daughters, Charity Bates (and husband John) of Licking, Candice Wilder (and partner Brandon) of Waynesville, and Payton Mordis of Licking; sons, Travis Odom of Wright City, Cody McAmis (and wife Sarah) of Fox, Arkansas, and Traie Odom (and wife Savanna) of Sanford, Florida. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren: Janelle, Lucas, Emily, Glenn, Leah, Claira, Josiah, Jonah, Rebecca, Hannah, Tristan, TJ, and Ezra; his sister, Leona Adcox; and his brothers, Donald Odom and Larry Adcox.
A visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 24, 2024, at 1:00 PM, with the funeral service to follow at 2:00 PM at Licking Christian Church. A graveside service will take place on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 1:30 PM at Wright City Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Licking Christian Church.
