Write an Obituary for someone you love.
My mom died recently, and I wrote her obituary. I knew the day was coming, and I already had some ideas, so I didn't worry about untimely writer's block. This month's challenge isn't a drabble, instead, I want you to rough-draft an obituary for someone you love. The no-parents-left club is one we all have to join some day, and the membership dues kinda suck. Keep this project under a couple thousand words, just like most obituaries need to be (otherwise they cost a shit-load of money to publish). Brevity is almost always better. Please use standard prose and normal grammar and punctuation. Winner gets a prize, and I'll pick the entry I like best in early March.

Mrs. Annie B. Long

On Friday February 31st of 2025 we lost Mrs. Annie B. Long. She was born September 22, 1925.

Mrs. Long would've been a centurion this year. She worked most of her productive years as a teacher with the Hanover Virginia Education System. She gave most of her spare time to volunteering at the after school programs at the YWCA helping students of all ages with their homework.

Mrs Long was a proud mother of two children. She will be an angel for her daughter, Kathy Long and her twins Helen and Holly. Also she will be an angel for her son David Long Jr. and his son Jasper.

She also leaves behind three sisters, Jackie Hall, Joyce Cane, and Kim Bridges. She will be a guiding light for 11 nieces and nephews. She also leaves many friends and distant family as well.

Mrs. Annie Long wanted her family to celebrate her introduction to heaven at her wake which will be held at the Bishop Funeral Home at 3201 Park Ave Henrico, VA. 23228

Remembering Mrs. Long is missing her famous apple pie and her friendly smile whenever she came around. You will never be forgotten, Mrs. Annie B. Long
