Odelle Franklin Coker, age 101, joined The Church Triumphant on April 26, 2018.

She is survived by her son R. Larry Morris (Lynn), three grandchildren, Brandon, Lea and Abigail. She leaves six great grandchildren, Berkeley, Miller, Ireland, and Ella Grace Morris, Daisy DeSa and Donovan Driscoll as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Dell was born in Columbus Ga. on Jan. 16, 1917 and is preceded in death by her parents Joseph Brown and Claudia Hancock Franklin, husbands Ralph Bonford Morris and Mal Coker, brothers Roscoe M. and William M. Franklin, sisters, Grace Barlar, Vera Youngstrom and Lillie Jo Franklin.

Dell had a heart full of love, compassion and joy.  She was a devout Christian and a longtime member of Brownsville Assembly of God Church.  Dell had a deep concern for children and taught children's Sunday school for over 30 years.  She and Mary Beasley started and taught Children's Church for years.

Dell loved her family and friends were always having gatherings at her house where she served delicious southern cuisine from a warm and generous heart. She was artistic and had a great sense of humor and an easy laugh.  She loved everyone, forgave easily and was loved by all who knew her.

Special thanks for the care and hospitality of Wesley Haven Villa and Regency Hospice.

A celebration of her life will be held at Harper Morris Memorial Chapel on May 1, 2018 at 11:00 am preceded by a 10:00 am visitation.
