Just an Old Lady by Verlin Sweety in Lenox Times
A reflective piece argues obituaries reduce a life to birth marriage and death. It honors a wife mother and moral center whose daily care and support shaped her family and husband, yet laments the simplification of her full life into a brief notice. The author questions traditional obituary limits and notes the unseen work of women.
