Myla was one of the sweetest co-workers I ever had when I was at DMH in the early 80s. Brought a smile to my face every day. What a wonderful angel heaven has gained!

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember many fun times with Myla and the rest of the family in Arkansas and at the ski club. Those are memories that we will hold onto forever. She always had a smile and would always speak to everyone. my prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

I came into the O'Dell family in 1984. Jeff took me to Illinois to meet his family. I've never forgotten her kindness and fun loving personality. The photo you chose for the obituary says it all, without saying a word. What a great smile! My condolences to your family. Connie O'Dell-Perusse

I have the most wonderful memories of my beloved cousin Myla. I idolized her as a child. She seemed so grown up and confident. Always sweet and gentle she could make me feel so good inside.

She was definitely a mentor to me when we worked together at DMH in the very early 1990s, including fashion and life in general. If given a choice I wanted to go to lunch with her and her group. She told the best stories. I learned so much from her (work and life)! She was a true classy lady!! I have also been very blessed to work with her daughter in law Leslie who is an absolute doll. I´m thinking of you all with a heavy heart. Such a wonderful lady is hard to let go of. Big hugs and lots...

My condolences to your family, Myla was definitely one of a kind. I very much enjoyed seeing her and visiting while doing her Nails and pedicures. I have missed her this past year. I will be thinking of all of you, we may have never met personally but she talked about you all so much and loved you all very much. Jenny from ExSalonCe/ Fiercely Beautiful Salon.

Roger, I would dearly love to attend your mom´s service this weekend, but we will be out of state. Myla´s obituary lives up to the wonderful woman she was. I will always cherish my time working with your mom at DMH and again at Dr. Youngerman´s office. I feel extremely blessed to have known her. I had forgotten that she never liked to cook; just one more thing she and I had in common. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, but I know Myla is...
