Me, too, Bobert. At one point I was collecting them from western papers and only about women who had lived a long, long time, and only those ones which told the tales of their early days on to their accomplishments, many of them pre-modern conveniences.

Mickey, I wrote my mom's obit and did not mention my dad out of respect for her and my siblings. Their divorce came after 38 years and it was very abrupt and unexpected for her. He remarried as quickly as it came through. I like to put as much info as possible in an obit because i know their value when it comes to genealogical research, but I still feel there are times when the public just doesn't need all of he details.
