An Alabama mother of eight killed in a traffic crash alongside her youngest son is being remembered as a Godly woman who doted on her children.

Brandi D. Odell, 46, and her 1-year-old son, Andrew, died Tuesday morning. Her 3-year-old daughter, Hope, survived the crash.

“She was a Christian girl,’’ said her godmother, Nancy Colvin. “She made sure her children knew God.”

A GoFundMe has been started to help Odell’s family.

The wreck happened at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. 411 near Pine Cone Road, about one mile south of Leesburg.

Odell was a social worker at Collinsville Healthcare and Rehab.

She was taking two of her children to daycare before work in Tuesday’s downpours when her Nissan Murano hydroplaned, left the road, and hit a tree.

Odell and Andrew were pronounced dead on the scene. Hope survived and was taken to the hospital.

Odell and her husband, Johnathan, had five biological children and were raising Odell’s brother’s three children, as well.

“She treated them all the same,’’ Colvin said. “She was a very hardworking mom who loved unconditionally.”

Odell was the sole provider for the family.

“This is going to be a long, hard journey for the seven other children and for (Odell’s mother and husband) also,’’ Colvin said in the GoFundme. “No donation is too small to help this family.”

“Please pray for them all,’’ Colvin said. “Pray God brings comfort to them all.”
