A New Jersey woman who died last week asked for one final thing in her obituary: “In lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Elaine Fydrych, who died of lung caner at age 63 on Thursday, made the request in her obituary, which was published South Jersey Times.

“If you knew Elaine, you’d say, ‘yep that’s Elaine.’ It was a fitting end for the woman,” her husband, Joseph, told foxnews.com. “It was very appropriate that she go out this way.”

Fydrych appeared on children’s TV programs, grew to love theater and acting, and was “a natural at comedy,” according to her obituary.

“The more she found out about Hillary, the more she didn’t like her and thought it would be a complete catastrophe if the U.S. elected her president,” her husband told Fox.

Her dying wish appeared by Wednesday to have gained traction in conservative circles, with strangers flocking to her guest book on the website legacy.com to offer their condolences and vow to fulfill her wish.

  1. Well, I guess all her conservative friends won’t vote for.

    But I will.

  2. Well on the bright side, she won’t have to see Clinton winning in a landslide.

    I’m sure her Fox-inspired dying wish swayed a whole lot of people who would have otherwise voted for HRC…

    All the Fox viewers who would never have voted for Hillary Clinton in a thousand years even if Jesus told them to, now line up to say, “God bless you, Elaine, for guiding us in the voting booth.” Pfft.

  4. How low will they go to try to defeat Hillary?

    Now FOX News is using DEAD PEOPLE to try to get other, ALMOST DEAD PEOPLE to not vote for her.
    (although, since they watch FOX, they are Brain-Dead already.)
