Time Expired (or: a gravesite to be enjoyed)

[mondo joe]

The above-displayed shows the Okemah, Oklahoma, gravesite of Barbara Sue Manire, who passed away on her 64th birthday in 2005 and is now interred at Highland Cemetery beneath a whimsical symbol of time expired: a parking meter with a "64 year time limit." (Her headstone also bears the legend "OUR MOM … HER HUMOR LIVES ON.")

As Barbara Sue’s daughter, Sherri Ann Weeks, explained, the unusual decorative feature at the gravesite was indeed her mother’s idea:

Mom always said she wanted a parking meter with ‘time expired.’ And she watned to be on the front row of the cemetery so she could see what was going on. We gave her what she wanted.

3. She must have been a hoot to have as a mom.

It's sweet of her kids to leave that as her legacy.
