Kelly Louise (Oden) Wilkinson, 60, passed away Monday, November 29, 2021 in Wichita Falls, Texas. A celebration of life and dinner will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at the Eagles Lodge 4128 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Kelly was born on October 14, 1961 to Bobby Lee Oden and Alice (Belk) in Wichita Falls Texas. She graduated from S. H. Rider High School in 1979, and then went on to earn her bachelor's in Education from Midwestern State University in 1987. Kelly worked as a public school teacher for 20 years, spending most of her time with Wichita Falls ISD.

The past decade of Kelly's life was devoted to spending as much time as possible with her granddaughters. Once you earned Kelly's friendship you had a friend for life. Kelly loved life, and lived life to the fullest. Everyone who knew her knew how passionate she was in whatever she did, and she would want everyone to "Carry on My Friends."

Surviving relatives include her parents Bobby and Alice Oden; brother, Ronald Oden and wife, Susan; son, Robert Wilkinson and wife Victoria; daughter, Alyssa Wilkinson-Greene; four granddaughters whom she adored with all her heart- Addison, Meredith, Emilia, and Willow; and numerous nieces & nephews to whom she loved being the "fun aunt", countless other family members as well as friends that she considered family.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you make a donation to Hospice of Wichita Falls or the American Heart Association on her behalf.
