My mother's obit, written by my grief stricken sister. I let her have her 15 minutes.
... Loving grandmother of 10 and great-grandmother of two. Beloved by all who met her, *** was a noble and gracious person. For many years she taught French in the **** school district. She attended almost every season of the *** Opera for almost 30 years and was an accomplished pianist turning to Beethovan Sonatas in later years. She loved to swim and became a member of the ''50 Mile Club'' at the ***. Her demise was heralded by an eclipse of the moon, planet of Goddess Diane the Huntress, whose bravery and beauty she shared.
It was also the 75th anniversary of the Great Crash of 1929.
