Funeral expenses for our darling Odetta

Odetta Maxwell, October 1997 - February 2023

Our dear angel “O” has gained her wings as a result of a catastrophic single car crash, and is in heaven with her beloved Nanna, Grandpa and other loved ones.

As you all would know, Odetta lived many lifetimes and experiences in her short 25 years.

Odetta worked hard, loved hard and fought for everything she believed in. She held her loved ones close and was the most out going, impressive, intelligent, beautiful and larger than life woman.

Her fearlessness and courage will live on with us all and if you knew her, please, honour her in every way you can; everyday.

We will hold her memories close and her soul closer. This is not goodbye, but truly; we will meet again.

We are fundraising for funeral expenses and to assist our parents, who live remotely to handle and cope with their devastating loss. They have had to rent a hotel in the city to stay close to their daughter in the RAH. Neither have a license and rely on taxis.

Both of Odetta’s parents survived catastrophic car accidents in seperate times in their lives, and as a result both have acquired brain injuries. Odetta dedicated much of her time caring for both parents. Her life was challenging juggling caring for her parents and her other commitments, as she was so passionate about all that she did.

This battle will be up hill and hard, and we appreciate our community rallying behind us in our time of need.

Any amount will help, and please keep our family and Odetta in your prayers.
