Kenneth Ray O'Dell of Winters, Tx went to meet his heavenly father on August 9, 2019. Born in Pumphrey, Tx on February 5, 1931, he was the ninth son of 14 children born to Benny and Ella O'Dell. He was preceded in death by his seven sisters and five of his brothers. He worked for West Texas Utilities in Alpine, Tx for 30 years. Kenny was a man who liked to give things life, whether it was the plants in his garden or the things he repaired for friends, family and neighbors.

He was a good man, and through his life taught all of us how to be better. He will be missed. The family will receive friends at 6:00 p.m. Monday, August 12, 2019, at Winters Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, August 13, 2019, at Wingate Baptist Church with interment at Lakeview Cemetery in Winters.
