Leon Odom Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by McCarn Funeral Service - Talihina on Jan. 28, 2026.
Leon Odom, age 79, of Talihina, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at his home on January 13, 2026. Leon was born on January 1, 1947, in Mineral Wells, Texas, to Neanzie (Strawbridge) Odom and Watie Odom. He was a hardworking man who took pride in staying busy and enjoyed relaxing by watching classic westerns. One of his simple pleasures was smoking a fine cigar.

On May 6, 1970, Leon married the love of his life, Sharon Farrington Odom, and together they built a life rooted in love and family. From this union came two sons, Bradley and Christopher, who were a great source of pride to him.

Leon is survived by his son, Bradley Odom, and his grandsons, Logan, Levi, and Landen Odom.

He was preceded in passing by his parents, Neanzie and Watie Odom; his beloved wife, Sharon Odom; and his son, Christopher Odom.

Leon will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his strong work ethic, and the quiet joys that filled his life.

Visitation will be on Monday, January 19, 2026 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at McCarn Funeral Service in Talihina, Oklahoma.

Graveside Services will be on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM at Albion Cemetery in Albion, Oklahoma with Bro. Brent Smith officiating.
