Oda was a German noblewoman. She was the daughter of Count Gerard of Metz. Her mother Oda of Saxony was a daughter of Otto I, Duke of Saxony and thus a member of the Liudolfings. One of her mother's brothers was Henry the Fowler (876-936). Because of this family connection Oda was a aunt of the first Holy Roman Emperor, Otto I the Great.

In 930, Oda married Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau. Because she outlived her husband by twenty years, she was head of the household and ran the estate and lands until their children had reached adulthood.

Gozlin and Oda had the following children:

Reginar, Count of Bastogne (d. 18 April 963). One of his sons was Adalberon (Bishop of Laon).
Henry (d. 6 September 1000), Count of Arlon.
