Dank was elected in 1994 and served until she was term limited in 2006.[1] Early lifeOdilia Dank was born in Cleveland, Ohio to parents Dr. Peter and Dr. Magdalene Russo.[2] The family moved to Oklahoma when she was two years old. Dank and her family lived at Lake Aluma Chulosa, a small township on the northeast side of Oklahoma City. Her father worked as a radiologist and her mother worked as a dentist prior to marriage. Dank graduated from Casady High School in Oklahoma City. Education and careerThereafter, Dank earned a bachelor's degree in 1960 from Randolph-Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. In 1974, she received a Master of Education degree from the University of Oklahoma at Norman. Dank worked in the Oklahoma City public school system for 20 years as an educator and counselor; for 12 years, she was a counselor at Del City High School.[3] Her first teaching job in southwest Oklahoma City was teaching government and Oklahoma history. On the weekends, Dank and a fellow teacher would travel around the state which in turn resulted in her interest in politics.[4] Oklahoma House of Representatives (1994–2006)Mary Fallin vacated her House seat in order to run for lieutenant governor and Dank decided to campaign for the vacancy. Dank was elected to represent District 85 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1994 and served until 2006 when her husband, David Dank, ran and succeeded her. During her time in office she was appointed chairman of Education Committee, the first woman in that position.
