Mary Stocks lived a full life, finally passing away at age 94.
Stocks touched many in her life, but didn't do a lot of things that make it in the typical obituary. So son Sandy decided to take things into his own hands.
"She was a master cook in the kitchen. She believed in overcooking everything until it chewed like rubber so you would never get sick because all the germs would be nuked," Sandy Stocks said. "Freezing germs also worked, so by Friday our school sandwiches were hard and chewy, but totally germ free."
"All four of us learned to use a napkin. You would pretend to cough, spit the food into it and thus was born the Stocks diet. If anyone would like a copy of her homemade gravy, we would suggest you don't," he added.
"She left behind a hell of a lot of stuff to her daughter and sons who have no idea what to do with it," Stocks continued. "So if you're looking for 2 extremely large TV's from the 90s, a large ceramic stork (we think) umbrella/cane stand, a toaster oven (slightly used) or even a 2001 Oldsmobile with a spoiler (she loved putting the pedal to the metal), with only 71,000 kilometers and 1,000 tools that we aren't sure what they're used for. You should wait the appropriate amount of time and get in touch. Tomorrow would be fine."
"She leaves behind a very dysfunctional family that she was very proud of," the obit adds.
Sandy says his mom would have appreciated the humor, and people around the world have enjoyed reading it.
