Oda E. Shouse Jr., 83, of Owensboro, went home to be with the Lord on Dec. 8, 2020. He was born in Red Hill to the late Oda Sr. and Clara Shouse on Dec. 1, 1937. Oda was the beloved pastor at Relevant Faith Church in Owensboro. He married Kathy Shouse on Jan. 27, 1972, in Hardinsburg, and they both served, side by side, in various ministries for over 40 years. Oda worked in building supply sales and was also a trim carpenter and sculptor. He was recognized in the regional arts community as an accomplished self-taught woodcarver, working in the well-known tradition of Kentucky folk art.
He is represented in the permanent collection of the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art by four pieces of sculpture and was commissioned by the local United Way on several occasions to create annual awards presented to community volunteers. Oda has also exhibited in Owensboro Art Guild juried exhibitions, where his work often received awards.
