Early life and career
Born in Montrose, Iowa, she began her career as a child in the family tent show (called "Baby Nedra"). The act continued until she was 11 years old and had outgrown the act's name. She failed to enroll in high school, which led to her desire for music.
Volz was a featured vocalist with Cato's Vagabonds, a Des Moines, Iowa, big band that briefly enjoyed national fame in the 1930s. Cato never made records, but Volz managed to appear on exactly one 78 side with Will Osborne's orchestra in 1933. On WHAM radio in Rochester, New York, Volz and two other Cato singers performed as "Nedra, Paul, and Glenn" in 1932.
Volz, who was described as a "blues songstress" in 1940, appeared in a vainance revue in Miami, Florida.
She began on television and also in feature films as a support character actress starting with an episode of Good Times in 1975. 428 in 1969, Volz played grandmothers or feisty old ladies in sitcoms like Alice, Maude, and One Day at a Time, and in All In The Family as Edith's spinster relative and newcomer, Aunt Iola.
In 1980, she appeared in several Jack in the Box TV spots as they blew up Jack, one of more than 25 commercials to feature Volz.
Adelaide Brubaker, a housekeeper on television nearly every week in the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, began appearing on television almost every week in 1980. Emma Tisdale, a postal worker, appeared on the television show The Dukes of Hazzard in 1981. 291 Volz was the matriarch on Filthy Rich in 1982-83, making a series of parodying prime-time soap operas of the day. Winona "Mother B" Beck, the first wife of cryogenically frozen Big Guy Beck (Slim Pickens and, after his death, Forrest Tucker), was attempting to escape from the nursing home to return to Toad Hall, a Volz's character. Volz's last film appearance was as the bail bonds woman recruited by Lee Majors' bounty-hunter on The Fall Guy from 1985 to 1986.
She was one of a group of senior citizens coerced into calling for assistance in "Mission of Peace," a 1986 episode of The A-Team. On The Super Mario Bros. Super Show in 1989, she portrayed Mrs. Perwinkle and Angelica. She appeared on Night Court, Coach, The Commish, and Babes as a guest star into the early 1990s, and she continued to do well into her eighties.
