Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Martha Jane O’Dell Zimmerman, 44, of Kansas City, Kansas, passed away on February 23, 2019 at her home. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, March 4, 2019 at Heartland Cremation & Burial Society with a visitation prior to the service at 10:00 A.M. Burial will follow the service at the East Slope Cemetery in Riverside, Missouri.
Martha was born on February 11, 1975 in Kansas City, Missouri to Robert and Evelyn O’Dell. She was the most loving and kind person. She loved Zac and his children, their children, like they were her own. Martha loved life and was the person you wanted to be around. She made you feel alive. She was not afraid to tell you what she thought. Martha was a different type of woman, different in an amazing way. She caught Zac’s eye unlike anyone else could. She wasn’t exactly what you would call a proper woman. That’s what he liked about her the most. She wasn’t afraid to tell it how it was or what you wanted when you didn’t even know yourself.
Martha was preceded in death by her father, Robert Eugene O’Dell.
Survivors include her mother, Evelyn O’Dell; husband, Zac Zimmerman; children, Bryson Zimmerman, Brody Zimmerman, and Shelby O’Dell; siblings, Jimmy O’Dell, Robin (Eddie) Johnston, Daniel O’Dell (Janet Adams), Brenda O’Dell, Ronda (Shayne) Reagan, and Randy O’Dell, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Too My baby sister, I am so lost for words that I don’t know where to begin. I know that we haven’t been close for some time. My mind has been flooded with thoughts and memories that we have shared over the years. There were some bad but the good ones are all I want to remember. I want you to know, that we will protect and take care of mom. She is truly lost without you being here. We will miss you and one day we will all be together again. Tell dad and the the rest of the family that we love and miss them too. I love you baby sister. I am so sorry for your daughter Shelby and your husband Zack because they have lost a wonderful mother and wife. Until we meet again. Love your brother Dan.
Aunt Martha, I know we weren’t close but you were always so nice to me. You took me to Sally’s Beauty Supplies and you dyed my hair red for me. And you were a lot of fun at birthday parties like my sisters float trip birthday. You also loved my sister. Our family has been through so much ever since Crystal’s unexpected passing. And now you’re gone too unexpectedly. I’m saddened by everything that has happened. Please say hello to my sister for me and give her a big hug and give grandpa and Uncle Frank a hug too. Rest in peace Aunt Martha.
You were a truly amazing woman to me so honest and free-spirited what a great big heart you had. I looked so forward to seeing you at the Christmas parties my heart just feel empty I hate your gone on, I truly will miss you.
I am so sorry for you loss. Thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and coworkers.
I will truly miss Martha and miss working with her, Our business relationship had grown over the years.
Rest in Peace, Martha.
Oh Martha how I miss you so much. You was truly my best friend and I hate that we had a falling out before your passing. I wish I could have seen and talked to you one last time. We spent so much time together and its been so hard without you. I keep just asking why just why did you have to go soooo soon. You was such a bright shining light and I will forever miss you!!!
