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.
I’ve just recently become a Fantasy genre fan mainly due to ‘The Girl With All the Gifts’ and soon, ‘The Boy on the Bridge’ both by Mike Carey.
Beau really enjoyed the above books, too - and he’s more of a ‘Longmire’ or ‘Jack Reacher’ fan when it comes to reading for entertainment.
I’ve started to read old Isacc Asimov, too. Loved, ‘Pebble in the Sky.’ And now, on to his, ‘The Stars, Like Dust.’
I’m going to check out Terry Pratchett, too. :)
I think Pebble in the Sky and The Stars, Like Dust are two of three pre-Foundation novels, IIRC. If you enjoyed those, I recommend checking out his Foundation series, too.
Those two are good photoshop collages!
Thanks. I will. Just ordered a few more books on-line, LOL!
It’s a sickness. I admit it. ;)
“a husband of little to no importance
That tells you all you need to know about the wretched decedent.”
I at first thought the same thing, then it occurred to me that it may have been the husband that wrote the obituary.
People like are sadly suffering from major mental health issues.
Think that’s an obituary? Listen to the obituary from Tom Lehrer of Alma Mahler Gropius Werful.

“It is a sobering thought that, when Mozart was my age, he already been dead two years.”
Probably.
Poor guy.
She ground his self esteem into the dirt.
Irreverent, not amused. She is in for it unless she repented at the end. While I am all for being lighthearted and positive this is a legacy of a lie and is hurtful to those suffering, dying, or bereaved.
She has a pig snout.
Looks like Hillary Clinton getting ready for mass.
LOL! Spot on!

If he was anything like Derwood, it was his mother in law.
