Diane Odell Dies After 58 Years in Iron Lung
Odell died Wednesday when electricity was knocked out at her home and family members were unable to get an emergency generator to work. “We did everything we could do but we couldn’t keep her breathing. Dianne had gotten a lot weaker over the past several months and she just didn’t have the strength to keep going,” said a family member.
She spent her entire life in the 7-foot-long tube but that didn’t stop her from getting her high school diploma, go to college and write a children’s book.
