Odilia’s greatest joy was the sun shining on her beautiful flowers. They brought so much happiness and vibrancy into her everyday life. Seeing all the flowers when she visited Hawaii was truly her paradise.
One of her favorite past times was watching baseball, particularly the Cubs, with the love of her life and they rarely missed a game.
She enjoyed her weekly gatherings where she cooked up a storm for her family and friends, making sure everyone was always well-fed and content.
When her grandchildren started arriving, they completed her life in an amazing new way, even more so when she became a great grandmother. Our lives have been made so much greater and we are truly blessed to have had such a strong, kind, loving woman as a wife, friend, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
