“Heartbroken to have to post our darling Odele’s funeral notice,” she wrote. “Her sister Lucinda and I have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and love we have received, and your remembrances of how cherished Odele was to so many. Odele was greatly loved, and leaves a huge hole in our lives.”
As Belinda’s post revealed, a service celebrating Odele’s life was held on January 26 in Brooklyn, New York.
It was further reported that Odele is also survived by a 2-month-old daughter, whom she named Shiloh. “Odele is survived by her sister, Lucinda Ventimiglia, mother, Belinda Cape, father John Ventimiglia, and her beloved daughter Shiloh.”
A GoFundMe has been set up to encourage people to donate to Shiloh’s “future education costs,” in lieu of flowers. So far, more than $57,000 has been raised for Shiloh.
While her sister Lucinda’s social media is fairly private, People reports that she has also shared a statement following her sister’s passing. “Words will never be enough to express the grief we are all feeling. I loved my little sister a lot and I will spend the rest of my life searching for her in everything,” Lucinda began.
