Lloyd Odell Street

Lloyd “Odell” Street, age 91, Unicoi, passed away Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at the Johnson City Medical Center surrounded by his family. He was a proud life-long resident of Unicoi. Odell was the son of the late Loyd and Sue Peterson Street.

Odell was retired from the Raytheon Corporation in Bristol, TN with thirty-eight years of service as a tool and die maker. He was a member of Unicoi United Methodist Church and a sixty-two-year member of the Unicoi Masonic Lodge #681 F&AM.

Odell loved his family and he enjoyed traveling to visit with them. He could fix anything and make anything. Odell had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. He could spin a tale to keep you smiling.

In addition to his parents, Odell was preceded in death by four brothers: Kenneth Dwight Street, George Carter Street, Bobby Jack Street, and Harry Street; three sisters: Doris Kathleen Ivey, Peggy Street Renfro, and Phyllis Street Burrell.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory, the love of his life of seventy years, Shirley Leedy Street; five children: Kathryn Street Brown (Jimmy W.), Deborah Street Tapp, Rex Allen Street (Vicki), Teresa Street Bailey (Robert), and Tony Lynn Street (Kara); eight grandchildren: Chad Brown (Jeannine), Katie Shular (Travis), Abbie Pearson (Rhett), Tucker Street (Jillian), Hudson Street, Olivia Street, Sarah Bailey, and Savannah Street; eight great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews also survive.
