I suppose it depends where the obituary will be published and who it will be read by.
Are you more defined by what you did and who you knew in your youth than who you were and how people knew you at the time of your death.

My obit would have been strikingly different if I'd died at 20, 30 or today.
And if I make it through I hope it will be different again by the time I die.
There won't be Grandchildren to giggle at Nanny's funny hair when she was younger, but if I were to die tomorrow the people who know and love me already know who I am and how and why without relying on what is written in the Bucks Herald. Especially as you pay by the word there so it usually only gives date, place, relatives and funeral arrangements.
