Claudia Lee Lassiter Odom, age 71, entered into God’s kingdom on November 25, 2021, after a short battle with colon cancer. Before falling ill she was the owner and operator of Claudia’s Family Hair Care in Readyville for almost 30 years. While Claudia was great with haircuts, colors, and perms, her true gift was the genuine love and compassion she had for people.

In 1968, Claudia married the love of her life, the late Ronald “Ronnie” Dale Odom. Claudia & Ronnie went on to have three children: Rhonda Odom of Centertown, Crystal Melton & spouse Caven of Woodbury, and Chad Odom of Readyville. During their 53 year marriage, Claudia and Ronnie were also blessed with 6 grandchildren: Dustin Odom & spouse Kori, Amy Calhoun & spouse Robert, Amber Roy, Angel Roy, Sophia Odom, and Dalton Odom and 12 precious great grandchildren.
In addition to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, Claudia is also survived by loving in-laws: Eva and Robert Green, John and Sue Odom, and Brenda Lassiter.
