Dee Dee was born in Omaha on October 25, 1963, to Darlene and Denny Odorisio, the youngest of seven children and the only daughter. (She said her parents stopped having children once they reached perfection.)
She was preceded in death by her parents, Darlene and Denny Odorisio; grandparents, Minnie and Arthur Jurgensen; and Olive and Frank Odorisio; great uncle, Otto Odorisio. Dee Dee is survived by her brothers and sisters-in-law; Frank (Marcy); Tim (Pam); Dan (Pam); Mike (Peg); Mark, and Jeff (Tiff); nieces, Michaela (Eli); Julia, Angie (Aaron); Elizabeth; Anna (Molly); Eloise, and Lola; nephews, Vince (Andrea); Tony (Lindsey); Marcus (Jessie); Joe, and Nick; 16 great-nieces and great-nephews; and many beloved friends.
Dee Dee graduated from Archbishop Ryan High School in Omaha as well as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She was a season-ticket holder for Nebraska Volleyball and cheered on the Cornhuskers to several National Championships over the years. She also loved live music, dancing, and spending time with her family and friends, especially at The Ozone. Dee Dee was the main caregiver for her great uncle, Otto, as well as both of her parents, and her grandmother, Minnie.
The family would like to thank all of her doctors and the staff at Midwest Cancer Center; Felicia, Casey, and their staff at Live Hydration Spa; Bekki Koenig; Andrea Siemek; Pam and Peg; as well as cousin, Denny Circo and brother, Mark.

I am so sorry for your loss! I will never forget how dear Dee Dee was to me when we moved in with my Grandma Trout when we were little. She was like a big sister to me as we started at OLL in the middle of the school year! God Bless her and Rest In Peace now Dee Dee.
Dee Dee was the sweetest,always giving in care,schools and the best Salsa dancer . She was brave to the end and now God rest her soul..Family, Iam so sorry for your loss . Patsy Hawkins and Pat Hawkins
Rest well my sweet friend. Your kindness, light and laughter will never be forgotten. I will smile and remember you each time I look at my wedding ring and our trip to 14K. I will think of you when I think of Lanskys Pizza (with cream cheese) and of course everytime I see Loapord print. I have known many people that have passed this year. I would like to believe that Jesus called upon all of his best helpers to help him with all of what the World is facing right now. You were always a helper Dee Dee. I hope your family can find comfort in knowing you are with your sweet Mom and Dad and nolonger suffering. May the stars be your diamonds my friend. Shine on. Shine on.
I am sorry to hear that Dee Dee has pasted away. I always remember her with such a great smile,laugh and love for life and family. I am sure you will all miss her but you will never forget her. I hope that the rest of your family is safe.
