8/18/2023 0 Comments Sample funeral obituary for mother![]() She had wallpapered or painted each room herself. Every room in our home had rugs on the floor that she had made. She was a homemaker in the true sense of the word. Yet she was shy and unassuming and always said of herself "I am just a housewife". She was a caring, supportive and loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. ![]() There are no lessons about 'The Art of Mothering' we can only do our best and hope that we do it well. Thank you for being with us today, to celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, my mother Ellen. As they say, it's better late than never. I have written it as if I was speaking it at her funeral in 1970. I hope this page can honour her as a memorial to my very special mother. Writing it now, 48 years later has been an emotional trip down memory lane and a wonderful way to remember my mother. ![]() Because I was in such as state, I found it impossible to get involved in the funeral arrangements, let alone write a eulogy at that time. She had only recently gone home as she wanted to be in her own home when she died. She had been living with me for over a year while she was fighting cancer and I was looking after her. When my mother died in 1970 at the age of 64, I went into denial. I hope this eulogy which I have written for my mother will help you at a very difficult time if you find yourself trying to write one for your own mother.
