There are a few different ways for a person to become famous after their death. For instance, some create marvellous masterpieces that only get recognized years after the artist’s death. Or let’s take the American writer Henry Darger, who became popular only when his fantasy manuscript was discovered two decades after his death.
The woman, that this article is about, also became well-known only after her passing. Though her story is quite a unique one.
Holly’s obituary went absolutely viral, and now thousands of people who didn’t know her feel bummed for not knowing her while she was alive.
The obituary we’re talking about is absolutely wonderfully witchy. From the very beginning to the very last word.
“Holly Blair exploded into glitter and bats on Aug. 17, 2020. She is survived by four spoiled cats, two stinky dogs, three bad birds, a turtle, and an utterly useless frog named Fred, as well as three children and a husband of little to no importance. Her remains will be interred under a tree with the ridiculous multitude of animals she rescued, both wild and domestic,” the obituary reads.
“Her future plans include drinking beer with Terry Pratchett and flying across the moon on her broomstick on Halloween. She has also promised to communicate with us from the beyond via the cockatiel psyche. We ask that everyone carve extra jack-o’-lanterns on Halloween this year in her honor. All hail the wicked witch of Juniper Road!” it reads.
Many people, who didn’t even know Holly in real life, went on her memorial page to leave some nice messages in memory of her.
“I never had the pleasure of meeting this glorious woman, but I will be sure to carve a pumpkin in her honor this year. My deepest condolences to her surviving family and animals,” someone wrote on her memory wall.
Well, she lived a fantasy.
Blair Witch Project?
Derwood and the kids will probably miss her.
But not too much, considering the station they held with the Blair Witch.
That tells you all you need to know about the wretched decedent.
yeah...hilarious /s
Didn’t know who Terry Pratchett was, so I looked him up. Fantasy Author; ‘Discworld’ series:

Her afterlife will be anything but.
Prachett was/is a Big Deal among Fantasy writers and readers. He almost broke into the stratosphere with Rowling, Martin, and (thanks to his son) Tolkien.
Frankly, I’ve never read him. But everyone I know who has always enjoyed his whimsical books. He reminds me of Piers Anthony in that way.
....She then died to face reality.....
Just imagine showing up at grandma’s house and seeing that - every time. Those kids will be a wreck.
See John 5:24 to read God’s promises....
Yeah, but it also tells you something about her husband. He had sex with her at least three times. Obviously, he was sufficiently lacking in self-worth.

You can never be so bad that you can’t serve as a horrible example
She chose poorly if she didn’t choose Jesus.

Looks like gloria Steinem.
