Newspaper Pulls Obituary That Implies Woman Will Burn in Hell

Rest in peace?

More like… peace out, you no good/horrible/terrible/irresponsible mother!

This is the basic message that has been sent by the children of Kathleen Dehmlow on the occasion of her death, as they sent an obituary to the Redwood Falls Gazette that is unlike any other obituary you have read.

(Okay, maybe it’s a little bit like this obituary.)

The obituary opens by stating a few simple facts:

Kathleen was born on March 19, 1938 and resided in Springfield, Minnesota. She married Dennis Dehmlow in 1957 and had two kids with him, Gina and Jay.

So far, so normal, right?

But then the tone quickly changes…

In 1962 she became pregnant by her husband’s brother Lyle Dehmlow and moved to California.

She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay who were raised by her parents in Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schunk.

Oh… well, ouch. Okay then!

This is how the pieces concludes:

She passed away on May 31, 2018, in Springfield and will now face judgment.

She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her

The newspaper removed the obituary from its pages/archives amidst reader outcry that it was in poor taste, which actually raises an interesting question:

Was it in poor taste?

Why must we honor the dead if the dead inflicted such pain on those close to them when they were alive?

Kathleen’s son, Jay Dehmalo, actually spoke to The Daily Mail and explained why he and his sibling wanted to out their late mother in this sort of fashion:

“We wanted to finally get the last word,” he said. “You could write it all down in a book or turn it into a movie and people wouldn’t believe what we went through.”

Jay Dehmalo, pictured here, has written the mother of all obituaries. Do you think it should have been removed from the newspaper?

Does he have any regrets about doing so? Nope.

“We knew there would be backlash but it really has helped us to finally get the last word,” Jay told The Daily Mail of himself and his sister, Gina.

Deceased Texas Father Roasted in Brutal Obituary

Thus far, 2017 hasn’t been nearly as brutal as 2016 in terms of celebrity deaths, but it seems one legend has left us without much fanfare.

You may not know the name Leslie Ray Charping, but after reading his daughter Shiela’s obituary, you’ll likely never forget her take on his life.

Here’s the text in its entirety, originally published by Carnes Funeral Home in Houston, Texas:

“Leslie Ray “Popeye” Charping was born in Galveston on November 20, 1942 and passed away January 30, 2017, which was 29 years longer than expected and much longer than he deserved.

“Leslie battled with cancer in his latter years and lost his battle, ultimately due to being the horses ass he was known for. He leaves behind 2 relieved children; a son Leslie Roy Charping and daughter, Shiela Smith along with six grandchildren and countless other victims including an ex wife, relatives, friends, neighbors, doctors, nurses and random strangers.

“At a young age, Leslie quickly became a model example of bad parenting combined with mental illness and a complete commitment to drinking, drugs, womanizing and being generally offensive.

“Leslie enlisted to serve in the Navy, but not so much in a brave & patriotic way but more as part of a plea deal to escape sentencing on criminal charges.”

Believe it or not, it gets worse:

“While enlisted, Leslie was the Navy boxing champion and went on to sufficiently embarrass his family and country by spending the remainder of his service in the Balboa Mental Health Hospital receiving much needed mental healthcare services.

“Leslie was surprisingly intelligent, however he lacked ambition and motivation to do anything more than being reckless, wasteful, squandering the family savings and fantasizing about get rich quick schemes.

“Leslie’s hobbies included being abusive to his family, expediting trips to heaven for the beloved family pets and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned.”

Um … at least he had hobbies?

Not surprisingly, Les won’t be receiving much of a send-off:

“Leslie’s life served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities besides quick whited sarcasm which was amusing during his sober days.

“With Leslie’s passing he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving husband, father and good friend. No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no apologies to the family he tortured.

“Leslie’s remains will be cremated and kept in the barn until “Ray”, the family donkey’s wood shavings run out. Leslie’s passing proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all.”

Okay, so clearly ol’ Les wasn’t much of a husband or father, but Shiela’s scathing obit has turned him into something of an overnight Internet sensation.

Like, Harambe before him, Leslie’s posthumous time in the sun probably won’t last long, but it seems his daughter is enjoying the fact that he’s being subjected to a final (arguably well-deserved) humiliation:

“I told the truth. I am not sorry for telling the truth, and I am not sorry for standing up for myself,” she told a local news station.

“For someone that knew him and family members that knew him and to see something on there that was a complete lie would’ve been an insult to everyone that he did bad things to.”

The funeral home decided to delete the obituary after the spike in traffic caused their website to crash.

Sounds like the not-so-dearly departed is still making trouble from beyond the grave.
