Obituary writer / Examples / Obituary for a husband
Write an obituary for your husband
We're sorry. Here are a few things that help, and an example you can borrow from.
What helps
- You can ask someone else to read your draft or finish it. That is common.
- Write it the way you would tell a friend about him. Then let the tool tidy it.
- Think about whether to print the service time. Thieves read obituaries, so ask a neighbor to watch the house during the service.
An example
James Okafor, 71, of Atlanta, died on August 8, with his wife, Grace, beside him. They were married for 44 years and never agreed on a thermostat setting.
He is also survived by his daughters, Ngozi and Ada. A celebration of his life will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
This person is made up. Their details are only an example.
