Minneapolis, MN Sunday, July 10, 2022 Many many condolences to the family on the anniversary of Odetta's passing. My dad, Danny Gustafson, (mentioned above by Susie!) drove for Billy, and as Odetta was a second mom to my dad, she was an additional grandma to me and my sister for my childhood. She and Billy used to park their motorhome in our driveway in the winter when they would stay down in Arizona - many fun holidays were spent with them! We lost touch with Odetta in the past decade or so, but my mom and I were reminiscing about the year Odetta and Billy joined our family in Rocky Point, Mexico for Spring Break. Our memories prompted a quick google search, which lead me here. We loved Odetta. We loved Billy. I very much hope this message reaches one of their kids - much love to you. We were so lucky to know your parents.Jan Fusilier Doxsey
Erie, CO Monday, August 23, 2021 Thank you for letting me of Odetta’s death. She was such a fun lady. We shared many fun times when she and Billy would come to Colorado to visit my parents and grandparents : Ardine(Ebel) and Lee Fusilier and Norma and Fred Ebel. I know you will miss her.Gregg Kupfer
Omaha, NE Wednesday, July 21, 2021 My father, John Kupfer, drove many milk routes for Ebel Transfer back in the '60's. I rode with him most every time. Most were overnight to places like Sioux Falls, SD. Also knew Ken and Phyllis. Gregg KupferKim
Fremont, NE Friday, July 16, 2021 She was a great neighbor. Every time I asked her how she was doing she always said, “Just as fat and sassy as ever!” She will be missed.Susie Swanson
Lincoln, NE Wednesday, July 14, 2021 Odetta was loved and respected by so many, including so many drivers for Ebel Transfer. I know my brother Danny felt like she was another mother to him. Good thing—-it took a village to raise him!! Rest In Peace! Enjoy your reunion with those loved ones that were waiting for you!Linda Heggemeyer
