RSVP - es-roberts@wiu. edu or call 309.298.1911 Writing Your Obituary We will discuss the basic parts of an obituary along with ideas of what each of us might want to include in our own. Often, obituary writing is left to family members who may not know all the details of the life being described or the accomplishments the deceased individual valued most dearly. The first session will cover ideas of what to include and where to begin. The second session will elaborate on these ideas after participants have had a chance to try a draft. Feel free to bring any samples of obituaries you have read.
Instructor: Paula Wise is a longtime reader of obituaries, has written several for family members, and considers them as a summary of one’s life story.
Date: Thursdays, Sept. 4 and 11 Time: 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Place: Spoon River College Community Outreach Center, 2500 E. Jackson St.
