Probituaries

When Inspire(d) founder Aryn Henning Nichols worked at a newspaper editing obituaries, she always wished she could have asked more questions of the folks memorialized in those columns. So when Inspire(d) launched in 2007, she immediately knew a feature that had to be included each issue: the Probituary: A Notice of Life! We feature local grandparents, elderly neighbors, long-standing community leaders, and more. Generally, these Q&A interviews are conducted by someone who knows the interviewee – we like to think of the questions as catalysts for conversation! We’ve received invaluable wisdom from the folks highlighted over the years. But don’t take our word for it – see for yourself! (Sidenote: If you’d like to interview someone you know for a future probituary, get in touch!)
