Anna Odom McElveen, age 67 and a resident of Mount Hermon, passed away Friday morning February 24, 2023 at St. Tammany Parish Hospital. She worked for many years as a home-daycare monitor for the state of Louisiana. Anna attended Mt. Hermon United Pentecostal Church and loved to travel. She took vacations to Australia, London, England, Las Vegas, California and many favorite areas in the Southeastern United States. Anna enjoyed cooking for her family and made delicious sweet potato pie and Christmas candy. She liked to watch N.C.I.S. and other criminal-drama TV shows with her granddaughter. Anna was a great “storyteller” and she had a kind and generous heart, always willing to help others in need. She had a special place in her heart for her pet dog “Josie”.
