The obituary posted in the Richmond Times of Mary Anne Alfriend Noland has gone viral following her death on Sunday.
American comedian Anita Renfoe posted on her Facebook page ” I don’t normally post much political on here, but this is equal opportunity. And possibly the best obituary this week. I love a family with a great sense of humor”.
During the run in to the Presidential election a number of fake obituaries have made the press slamming politicians, but this is the real deal.
The full obituary reads as follows.
NOLAND, Mary Anne Alfriend. Faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the age of 68. Born in Danville, Va., Mary Anne was a graduate of Douglas Freeman High School (1966) and the University of Virginia School of Nursing (1970). A faithful child of God, Mary Anne devoted her life to sharing the love she received from Christ with all whose lives she touched as a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend and nurse. Mary Anne was predeceased by her father, Kyle T. Alfriend Jr. and Esther G. Alfriend of Richmond. She is survived by her husband, Jim; sister, Esther; and brothers, Terry (Bonnie) and Mac (Carole). She was a mother to three sons, Jake (Stormy), Josh (Amy) and David (Katie); and she was “Grammy” to 10 beloved grandchildren.
