A DOCTOR wrote her own joke-filled obituary for her family to publish after she lost her battle with cancer last week.

    Kay Ann Heggestad, 72, died Jan. 13 after a two-year battle with bone marrow cancer.

    In her obituary, the grandmother from Madison, Wisconsin, the U.S. joked about her “wimpy” health battle, describing herself as a “whiner” who was “always right.”

    She also told friends not to grieve her death, morbidly writing: “It will not bring me back, just makes you feel bad” and insisted to have never dyed her hair — “just ask her hairdresser.”

    Dr. Heggestad, a beloved family practice doctor, left the obituary on her computer with instructions for her family to submit it to a local newspaper in the event of her death.

    Her obedient widower Paul Wertsch said, “She loved to make people laugh” and wanted her death to be no different.

    “Kay Ann Heggestad, age 72, bought the farm, is no more, has ceased to be, left this world, is bereft of life, gave up the ghost, kicked the bucket, murió, c’est fini,” Dr. Heggestad said of herself.

    “She died on Friday, Jan. 13, 2017, after a wimpy non-battle with multiple myeloma, a nasty bone marrow cancer, after almost two years to the date of diagnosis.

    “No one should say she fought a courageous battle, because she did not! Unlike most folks, she complained all the way. What a whiner!”

    “Many said she did not look ‘that old’ and no, she did not dye her hair when she had some, except for occasional highlights. You can ask Jodi, her hairdresser,” it continued.

    Between jokes and nostalgic reflections of her shining medical career were heartwarming tributes to her family.

    “Paul was ‘the best husband’ in the world. Really. She is also survived by an excellent sister, sister-in-law, and by dozens of uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews all over the U.S. and in Norway; and some out-of-this-world friends who supported her through the final months.

    “If she started to name them, this obit would triple in length … you know who you are.”

    Her husband, who is also a doctor, said the family knew she had been working on the obituary throughout her battle and that it was typical of his wife’s good nature. “She never kept anything much a secret,” he said Sunday.
