They Tore Mom Down When Writing Her Obituary
When a loved one passes away, families often take on the emotional task of writing an obituary, typically reflecting their affection for the deceased. However, some families opt for a more honest approach, revealing family discord. One notable example is the obituary of Kathleen Dehmlow, written by her two adult children, which initially seemed like a standard tribute but quickly exposed unresolved issues.
Published in the Redwood Falls Gazette, the obituary included a shocking ending that sparked backlash and was later removed. A family member confirmed its accuracy but noted it lacked important context. Another relative, Dwight, argued that Kathleen had made mistakes but had shown remorse.
Despite the controversy, the newspaper’s CEO stated there was no legal reason to prevent its publication, emphasizing their editorial standards. If you’re curious about this unusual obituary, it’s available for reading.
