Mary Sullivan Balogh, 41 ... 'encouraged foolishness'

After a reign of 40+ years, Mary Sullivan Balogh resigned her position as favorite sibling, friend, daughter, aunt, niece, etc. on April 16, 2022. She would like her successors to be chosen through a triathlon: bull riding, karaoke and dog licking. Three things that she excelled at. Or rather, did regardless of the performance.

He couldn't start his day without reading the newspaper cover to cover, making sure he checked his lottery and power ball numbers, because that one time he almost hit it but was off by one number, and walking to the mailbox to check the mail. (H/T New Haven Register)
