Pink Lady, Donna Mae Mims dies seated in her pink Corvette for visitation

Donna Mae Mims, the first woman to win a Sports Car Club of America national championship in 1963, has died. She was 82.

Mims' body was seated behind the steering wheel of a 1979 pink Corvette for visitation hours at the funeral home
------------------------------------------------------

Question for all of you ostentatious nonconforming DUers:
In what lifestyle appropriate way will the rest of us view you at the funeral home?

1. They're not.

There will be no viewing or visitation.
There will be a gathering of friends later, my ashes may or may not be there. And I have plans for my ashes, they're to be scattered over a marijuana field somewhere.

2. I think I'll wind up in a Folger's can scattered to the wind...

and blowing back on my friends.

3. I've told my kids that a coffee can would be a fitting container for my ashes, but I think

they'll consider something else more suitable. Whatever makes them feel better. They've already decided on a spot to scatter me.

5. Wait a moment - why was she set up for visitation if she wasn't dead yet?

And how ironic that she did die once she was placed there for visitation.

6. I was wondering that myself, but that's what it said.

And if its in the papers ... :shrug:

Maybe she was just trying it out ... you know, like those people that sleep in their coffin ...

8. I want no memorial service and no funeral.

Cremate me and do with my ashes whatever you want except put them out to sea. I don't like the ocean. :scared:

9. I've always said I want my ashes mixed with clay

and made into really tacky lawn ornaments for all my family and friends. I want to be the gift that keeps on giving...and creeping you out.
