Charlie Cate Odom

May 12, 2016 - November 5, 2021

Charlie Cate Odom was ushered into the presence of Jesus on Friday, November 5th, 2021, at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee, Florida. Charlie Cate was born May 12th, 2016, in Panama City, Florida to Collette and Levi Odom. As an eight-pound bundle of joy, she entered the world to fill it with love, laughter and happiness for everyone her little life would touch. With her blueish green eyes, curly locks and rosy cheeks she demanded our love and attention as she lived her short life to the fullest. Charlie was gifted of God to make all of us a part of her big, exciting world in one way or another. She was a true little princess with or without her tiara, she was fancy and frilly, she shined as bright as a star. Wearing a pretty dress with bows in her hair or barefoot with her hair tasseled from a day at the beach, she could brighten any day with her songs or stories born from her vivid imagination. Charlie Cate will be forever cherished by her loving parents, Levi and Collette Odom-the best big brother ever, Presley-her paternal grandparents, Ellis Odom and Sharon Nowling – her paternal great-grandparents, C.L. and Merle Odom - her paternal great-grandmother, Aritha “Big Nana” Nowling – her maternal grandparents, Gus and Mary Carpenter – her maternal great-grandmother, Letitia and David Brown – her bonus grandparents Mark and JoAnn Falk – her aunt Holly and uncle J.P. Paul, cousins Gracyn, Addy and Maddie – her aunt Allison Odom - her aunt Angela and uncle David Bright, cousins Taylor, Ethan and Grace – her aunt Jessica and uncle Dennis Gay, cousins Stanley, Molly and Taylor – her aunt Millicent and uncle Jeremy Tull, cousin Saylor. She was preceded in death by her paternal great-grandfather, Clifford Nowling and her maternal great-grandparents, Bessie Carpenter, Cecil Carpenter and Joseph Bell. The service of celebration for Charlie Cate’s life will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021, at First Pentecostal Holiness Church with Pastor Susan Roach officiating the service. Charlie Cate will be laid to rest until we shall see her again on that resurrection morning at the Eastpoint Cemetery in Eastpoint, Florida.
