Date of Funeral

February 13, 2022

Edward Benson O’Dell III passed away with his family by his side on February 8, 2022, at the age of 68, at Herrin Hospital.

On July 25, 1953, Edward was born in Carbondale to the late Edward Benson O’Dell II and Olive “Sis” (Thompson-O’Dell) Isom. Edward was a lifetime resident of Carbondale and graduated from Carbondale Community High School in 1971. He married his high school sweetheart, Susan (Ellis) O’Dell, on June 7, 1975, also of Carbondale, who still survives.

He is also survived by his loving children, Sarah (Jim) Ford of Cambria, Edward (Jill) O’Dell IV of Carbondale, Aaron (Courtney) O’Dell of Carbondale; eight grandchildren, Taryn Ford, Emilyn Ford, Adam Mays, Jacy Mays, Carter O’Dell, Avery O’Dell, Bradley O’Dell, Addison O’Dell; sisters, Pat (Dale) Stearns, Linda (Jerry) Robinson, Sharon (Jeff) Rawls; nieces and nephews, Pam (Michael) Brown, Jeff (Cassie) Stearns, Ed (Jen) Robinson, Leo (Melissa) Robinson, Kent (Josie) Rawls, Tori Rawls; and many cherished relatives and friends.

Edward worked for J&L Robinson Construction Company for 47 years as a respected and skilled project supervisor. He was also very well known in the hunting community throughout Southern Illinois as an avid duck, goose, turkey, and deer hunter. Since his retirement in December 2020, he has spent his time hunting with his dear friends and cheering at his grandchildren’s sporting events from the sidelines.

He was a loving son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband, father, and most importantly, an awesome Grandpa. He will be missed every day by many. He also was a lifelong animal lover, especially his dogs Opie, Fiji, and Tater, who will miss him terribly.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Francis Care-Community Animal Rescue 6228 Country Club Road, Murphysboro, Illinois 62966.

Services will be held at 1:30 pm Sunday, February 13, 2022, at Walker Funeral Home in Carbondale, with Pastor Paul Hicks officiating. Burial will be in Oakland Cemetery. Visitation will be from 11 to 1:30 am at Walker Funeral Home on Sunday, February 13.

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

In the grand pattern of things you’ll secure a B+ for effort and hard work. Where exactly you confused me personally was first in all the specifics. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more accurate in this article. Having said that, let me reveal to you just what did do the job. Your writing is definitely quite convincing and that is most likely why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can certainly see a leaps in reasoning you make, I am not really sure of exactly how you appear to connect the points that produce the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however hope in the future you link the dots much better.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

One thing I’ve noticed is there are plenty of beliefs regarding the lenders intentions any time talking about home foreclosure. One fairy tale in particular would be the fact the bank needs to have your house. The bank wants your cash, not your own home. They want the funds they loaned you having interest. Averting the bank will still only draw any foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your posting.
