Kids Write ‘Funniest’ Obituary for Mom in the First Person. Now People Think She Wrote it Before Her Passing

Recently there was a story of Sybil Marie Hicks, who passed away at the age of 82 and left behind a hilarious obituary that she appeared to have written herself. Now the truth has come out, and it resonates with sweetness, love, and respect.

Her children wanted to think of way to memorialize their mother in a unique and interesting way. They decided to write her obituary from Sybil’s perspective. The obituary joked around about her husband and her children – each with a nickname – and had nothing but kind words for all 13 of her grandchildren. The topper, though. was saying that their mom finally had the smoking hot body she always wanted, as she had been cremated.

The internet went wild for what appeared to be a wild, quirky, interesting lady that enjoyed the everyday laughs with her family.
