In Loving Memory...

Our Mother, Odessa Chambliss was born July 6, 1933 to the late Johnny and Willie Lee Perry in Dublin GA. She confessed her faith at an early age and was baptized in the Sandyford Baptist Church.

She came to New Jersey in the late 1950’s, was a loving mother and always a friend to many.  Our mother was a member of the Jerusalem Baptist Church in Jersey City, NJ and sang in the Gospel Chorus for many years. Because of her loving and nurturing ways she was known to many of our friends and others as Mom. She worked for many years as a Nurse which fitted her warm and caring personality.  Her patients and coworkers knew her by the proud appearance she displayed and for her love of God. No matter where she was, Odessa was always telling someone about Jesus as she helped and comforted them during their illness.  Her motto and greeting was “Praise the Lord”.   She worked for many years at several medical facilities in the Jersey City area and retired after 23 years from Greenville Hospital in June 1995.
