She was the sixth of 13 children born to Cornelius Mathias "Neil" Daleiden and Katherine Marie "Katie/Kate" Wertzler in Hampton, Minnesota.

Odel spent her childhood in Hampton as the daughter of the town's furniture maker, coffin maker, and mortician. Odel's large family was very active in the St. Mathias Catholic Church. Her parents also owned a farm in Randolph County for several years so that she and her siblings could attend high school there.
