“Writing Your Own Obituary”
Presented by Roxanne Lowe
A link will be available for those who cannot attend in person
Your obituary is probably the most important thing that will ever be written about you. So why not write it yourself? Writing an auto-obituary (or writing one for a loved one) is a way to make sure you’re remembered the way you want to be remembered. Roxanne will share examples and styles of obituaries. You’ll also get started on your own!
Roxanne Lowe is the proud great granddaughter of Washington pioneers Daniel and Mary (Donovan) Murphy who came to Chehalis County (now Grays Harbor) in 1888. She is the past president of the Grays Harbor Genealogical Society and webmaster of the Washington State Genealogical Society’s website. She was the 2024 recipient of the WSGS President’s Award for Outstanding Achievement.
