Bizarre Obiturary!!!

[dolphin]

The following is an obiturary from Fridays paper. I have never read anything like it and ....wonder... about whoever wrote it.


"She was born June 8, 1921 in Wheatland, Wyo., to poor homesteaders. By the time she was 6 years old, her parents had both passed away, so she went to live with her aunt in Iowa, where she stayed until graduating from high school.

She spent the next 27 years traveling with her husband Stan Stites and Tom Bennett, arriving in Pahrump in 1967. Expecting to move in a year or so, she lived in Belvins Mobile Home Park. A year later they decided to make Pahrump their permanent home.

She worked as a waitress at the Old Calvada Inn, and then in the 1970s she and her daughters Marri and Cathy purchased the Cotton Pickin' Saloon and opened a restaurant. Lady Mike's specials included homemade soup, hot, fresh loaves of bread and her great Mexican food.

After selling out and retiring to her two acres on Manse Road, she catered private parties for several years."




Note the "traveling with her "husband" Stan Stites and Tom Bennett" ??? *and including her resturant menu!*

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!!!

I wonder if she wrote it herself? Some people do...but I still don't get the husband. They must be missing an "s."

That is kind of wierd. The part about living in the mobile home park in 1967 and the restaurant menu being included were strange.

Okay that is too weird.

She may have written it herself and included the things that made her happy.

It is kind of strange. Oh well, my MIL wrote her own obituary and sent it to all of the kids. She says she wants to make sure we get it right! LOL!

That's how I took it, too.  She and hubby traveled in a group with their friend Tom.

And as for the menu... well, maybe that's how folks might remember her?  Like I remember my grandma's pumpkin pie?

I dunno, it didn't seem that strange to me.... maybe that tells you something about me, then, lol!  I have read a ton of obits at www.findagrave.com  and people really do write some unusual things, so I guess nothing surprises me anymore.
