Late Grandma Brings Out The Fun In "Funeral" By Gifting A Unique Ouija Board To Her Loved Ones

Some funerals are quiet, and some end with a tiny Ouija board and a room full of laughter. That is exactly what happened when Jodie Marie Perryman, a Texas grandmother known for her humor, left her loved ones one last surprise at her own burial.

Jodie died at 81 after choosing to stop cancer treatment when her health declined late in the summer. Her granddaughter, Gracie Perryman, shared a photo of the card online, and the unusual gift quickly caught attention because it felt so perfectly in character for Jodie.

What followed was part grief, part laughter, and a lot of people saying they wanted a grandma just like her. Read on.
