Odessa went on to meet the love of her life, James Ramon. They married in 1964 and lived in Camarillo, Calif. where Odessa had a dog grooming shop. She enjoyed being with family and friends, gardening, sewing, dancing and making crafts. She had a creative ability to make or mend just about anything. In 1986 Odessa and Jim moved to Lake Havasu City to enjoy retirement living. Odessa became a widow in 1987.
