Since the start of the State of “Emergency,” I have been reading the local obits closely. I reckoned this would be an excellent, independent, non-governmental source to tally deaths. Obviously, if there was a great rise in the death rate, this section of the paper would become noticeably thicker, right? Well, that never happened because, fortunately, there hasn’t been much excess all-cause mortality in NH. In fact, NH had more deaths during the 2017 flu season, but that’s a discussion for another day.
Right now, I simply want to honor Jeannemarie Colgan. I don’t know this lady, but anyone who writes their own obit must have been some kind of fascinating person. While it sounds like she had an adventurous life, it also seems like it may have been lonely towards the end. This moved me, and I’m sharing her obit here to give her a decent final send-off, one she hopefully deserves! R.I.P., Jeannemarie Colgan, who “died the other day.”
