Obituary
Mary B. Oden was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She left us suddenly on the morning of June 8, 2023, at her home, at the age of 72.
She was born to Elva and Virgie Allen on September 14, 1950. She was the youngest of seven children. She graduated from Unionville High School in 1968. She married Jack on August 16, 1969, and together they had two children Jackie and Jeff.
She grew up and lived in Chariton, MO on her family farm until moving to Centerville a few years ago. Mary loved spending time with family and friends and anyone who would talk to her. She also enjoyed cooking for others and if you were at the house around mealtime you were going to eat. There was not a baseball game, trap shoot, band concert or sheep show she missed; her family was her proudest achievement. She had a big heart and enjoyed sharing it with everyone. For many years she could be found at the Putnam County Extension Office or County Fair helping 4-H'ers achieve their best.
She was preceded in death by her parents Elva and Virgie, brothers Charles, Tommy and an infant brother, sisters Beulah and Barbara, father and mother-in-law Jack and Juanita Oden. She is survived by her husband Jack, children Jackie (David), Jeff (Danny, Ryan), sisters Betty and Bonnie, grandchildren Kaiu, Bridgette, Tyson, and Tanner, great-grandchildren Roan, Rein, and Braxton. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family and wonderful friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11AM, Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at Thomas Funeral Home in Centerville with Pastor Holly Oden officiating. Burial will follow the service at Mt. Herman Cemetery in Chariton, Missouri. Visitation will take place Monday, June 12, 2023 at Thomas Funeral Home in Centerville, with the family greeting friends from 5-7PM. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to either Putnam County, Missouri 4-H or Mount Herman Cemetery/Building fund, and mailed to Thomas Funeral Home, ATTN: Oden Family, 501 North 18th Street, Centerville, Iowa 52544.
