Vicious obituary pulled from RGJ.com

RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) – It's an obituary like you've probably never seen before. It’s about a woman who died and is survived by her children who, according to the obituary, spent her lifetime torturing them in pretty much every way possible. The obituary goes on to paint a picture of children who are grateful that their mother, Marianne Theresa-Johnson Reddick, is dead.

UNEDITED VERSION OF THE SUBMITTED OBITUARY:
January 4, 1935 Sept. 30, 2013

Marianne Theresa John¬son- Reddick born Jan 4, 1935 and died alone on Sept. 30, 2013. She is sur¬vived by her 6 of 8 children whom she spent her lifetime torturing in every way pos¬sible. While she neglected and abused her small chil¬dren, she refused to allow anyone else to care or show compassion towards them. When they became adults she stalked and tortured anyone they dared to love. Everyone she met, adult or child was tortured by her cruelty and exposure to violence, criminal activity, vulgarity, and hatred of the gentle or kind human spirit.

On behalf of her children whom she so abrasively ex¬posed to her evil and vio¬lent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after¬life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty, and shame that she delivered on her children. Her surviv¬ing children will now live the rest of their lives with the peace of knowing their nightmare finally has some form of closure.

Most of us have found peace in helping those who have been exposed to child abuse and hope this message of her final passing can re¬vive our message that abus¬ing children is unforgive¬able, shameless, and should not be tolerated in a “hu¬mane society”. Our greatest wish now, is to stimulate a national movement that mandates a purposeful and dedicated war against child abuse in the United States of America.

3. I thionk there should be more of these types of obits.

Very telling and the closure? I think they got it after they wrote this.

4. I'm sceptical about the obit.

Notice she 'died on September 30, 2013.' We're not there yet. The obit was submitted electronically. It sounds to me like somebody might be insulting a living person, or perhaps is looking for Internet fame.

But the Reno paper pulled the obit while it's investigating who put it up.

10. THIS IS REAL!!!

This is very much a true obituary. It is sad to say but I am family to the person who wrote this. I am embarrassed that she placed our family out to the public for the world discus. I find her actions completely hypocritical as she herself is an abusive mother. She is not an advocate for child abuse, how can you be when you abuse your own children. Feel sorry and take pity on the other siblings that had to endure the pain, however do not take pity on a person that used some of the same tactics on her own children. I do not hate her by any means. I just feel sorry for the writer of this this that after all these years and through her own education that she was able to find some ounce of healing. We all can only control our own actions and what we ourselves choose to do. Her mother made her choices, this person made her choices and will have to deal with the consequences of them. This has done nothing but stir up bad memories for the rest of the family that have worked so hard to move forward and live productive lives and that have not carried on the abusive nature. The obituary was the works of a very small number of the family, the rest did not know it happened or she even passed away until the obituary went viral. She said that this was the only way that she new who she could mourn her. What about the opportunity that she took away from everyone else? Like mother Like daughter!! Feel sorry for some of the children, but not ALL, feel sorry the children that had to be raised by those children that were left to pick up the pieces.
