Obituary Confessions: The Truth Comes Out

Obituaries are where the truth comes out. Like when Edith Cooper confessed to her family that she'd been 'secretly a nudist' all her life. Or when John McCallister admitted to his love for 'playing the banjo (poorly).'

And then there's George Ingle, who requested that his obituary mention his 'love for his family, his country, and his God.' Oh, and that he 'hated his job.' Now that's a mic drop moment!

Obituary Lessons: Life's Too Short, So...?

Obituaries remind us that life's short, so why not make it sweet? Like Marjorie McIntosh, who lived her life by the motto, 'If you can't be good, be colorful.' Or Henry 'Hank' Harper, who insisted his obituary end with, 'And remember, don't take life too seriously. None of us are getting out alive anyway.'

So next time you're flipping through the obituaries, remember, it's not just about the end of a life. It's about the story of a life. And some of those stories? Well, they're just plain fun.
