Obituary of Odessa Clarke Marshall

Early Tuesday morning, January 19, 2021, Odessa Clarke Marshall passed into eternal peace. God looked down on 5600 Charlevoix Court in Richmond, VA and said, “My child, take my hand and follow me.” Odessa said “Yes sir.” Now she rests along beside her mother (Annie Pearl Clarke), her father (Henry Lee Clarke), her brother (Lawrence Edward Clarke) and her husband (Fulton Lewis Marshall) who all preceded her in death.
