The term refers to the obituary section published by The News Enterprise, a newspaper. This section is dedicated to announcing the deaths of individuals, typically residents of the newspaper’s coverage area, and providing biographical information about their lives. For example, one might find details about a person’s occupation, family, hobbies, and community involvement within such an announcement.
This feature provides a valuable service to the community by offering a formal platform to acknowledge the passing of its members. It serves as a historical record of lives lived and contributions made, offering a means for families and friends to publicly mourn and celebrate the deceased. Historically, these announcements were the primary method of disseminating information about deaths and memorial services.
