Odette Oliveira

Odette Louise Oliveira

May 6, 1937 - Sept., 4, 2013

Resident of Danville

She was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away quietly at home following a long, courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was born and raised in San Francisco, California, the only daughter of Julien and Louise Lacampagne.

Odette was working at Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco when she met her future husband, Donald. They married in 1959 and raised 3 children in San Leandro before moving to the San Ramon /Danville area for the last 30 years of her life. She was a stay at home mom who was very active in the PTA and Church of the Assumption. When her children were grown, she worked as a diet counselor and then in an art gallery.

Odette cherished her family, friends and faith more than anything. She also loved anything to do with her French heritage. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Donald, her 3 children Jeffrey, Randy (and wife, Annie) and Michelle, her brother Emile (and wife Janet), her 3 adored grandchildren, Dallas, Nicholas and Nathan. She is also survived by many cousins, all of who helped her keep her French heritage alive. She was a rare and wonderfully unique individual who will sorely be missed by all.

Family and Friends are invited to the Memorial Mass, Tuesday, September 17, at 11:00 AM at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 2601 San Ramon Valley Blvd., San Ramon, followed by a reception at Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville. In lieu of flowers, Odette requested donations to the Hope Hospice, 6377 Clark Ave, 3100, Dublin CA 94568.
