Billy H. Odoms

Graveside service for Billy H. Odoms, age 80, of Chickasha, was held at 
10:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 24, 2004, in the Fairlawn Cemetery.

Rev. John Smith of Lexington, Oklahoma, officiated.

Billy was born the son of Robert Odoms and Daisy Holder Odoms on March 3, 
1923, in Chickasha. He died on January 23, 2004, in Chickasha.

Billy grew up in Chickasha and graduated from Chickasha High School. In his 
early years, he helped his father with plaster and concrete work.

He also worked in oil and gas-related areas. Most of his life, Billy worked 
as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. He retired in 1989, after 
thirty-two years of service. During this time, he served Chickasha with a 
perfect attendance record.

Billy loved to hunt, fish, and observe wildlife. He also loved family 
gatherings filled with storytelling and eating ice cream. But most 
importantly, he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother.

He is survived by his extended family through Virgil H. Sparks.

Services were under the direction of the McRay Funeral Home.

"One of a Kind"

A letter carrier by trade
And with blue eyes that didn’t fade
Serving people on his route
And with first class service, no doubt
Telling stories, he spent his time
As long as he had someone to listen he was fine
Oil and gas was a hobby he loved
Watching squirrels on the ground and the birds above
We’ll miss you down here, dear ole friend
But Billy O, we’ll see you again.
