NOLAND, MARY ANNE

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. A visitation will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 903 Forest Ave., in Henrico. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 18, 1 p.m., with a reception to follow, also at Trinity UMC. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to CARITAS, P.O. Box 25790, Richmond, Va. 23260 (www.caritasva.org).

1. I wonder if it was suicide. (Reason: The opening part of that obituary.)

2. It was just a sick type of humor

for example:

Q. Why do husbands often die before their wives?

A. Because they want to.

3. I don't think an obituary is the appropriate place to be funny.

Yes, I know, this is not my call and none of my business. Her family did as they wanted, etc.

I'm just saying that I don't like it. To me, the death of anyone is a sad and somber event. I simply think it is in poor taste to make light of it.

Yeah, I know, too, that I don't get to rule the world.

4. Awesome.

I kind of feel the same way. Both are terrible, imo.
