[Nfbofsc] FW: Obituary for Blanche Gamble Odom

[David Houck]

Mrs. Blanche Odom was likely a founding associate member of the Clarendon
County Chapter of the NFB of SC.  Her obituary is attached.  I am
heart-broken and devastated as I will return to my NFB meeting on January
20, 2019 having lost both Padgett and Mrs. Blanche.  My Chapter did not have
a Christmas party because they were both so sick and no one felt like
partying.

Please share her obituary with the listservs and with Dr. Capps.

Blanche Gamble Odom, 90, widow of "E.W." Odom, entered into eternal rest
surrounded by her loving family and friends on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at
her residence. Born February 9, 1928, in Turbeville, SC, she was a daughter
of the late David Chalmers Gamble and the late Mary McCartha "Mamie" Kinney
Gamble. She was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church for over 70
years.  She was the former Executive Director of the Clarendon County
Council on Aging which was named in her honor in 2002. At age 80, she wrote
and published her memoirs, hosting a book signing. Read the rest

My Thanks,
Marty
