A woman in Norman Oklahoma decreed that her 2016 VW Bug would be given away in a random drawing to one person who attended her funeral



Diane Lynn Sweeny’s last wish was to give her 2016 Volkswagen Beetle to someone who attended her funeral. It didn’t matter if you knew her or not, everyone was invited.

So, several people who didn’t even know Diane showed up today, making this a special moment for the family.

“This is not a somber event; this is a celebration. This is how Diane would have intended it. You all are part of making her dream and wish come true. So is mine, God Bless you all,” said Ricky Ingram, nephew of late Diane Sweeney.

Should anything come in the way when the estate settles, Ricky Ingram will personally buy a like item, make, year and model to see Diane’s wish through all the way.

Resthaven Funeral Home will update Diane Sweeney’s tribute page online once the winner is announced.


After her estate is settled, the new owner of a VW Bug will be chosen at random, based on Guestbook signature and attendance at Resthaven Funeral home, South Oklahoma City.

achieve a Bachelor’s of Arts in math education from Southwestern Oklahoma University. She later received a Master’s in Statistics at the University of Nebraska. She then completed a Doctorate in Statistics from Oklahoma State University.

She worked in the area of first animal health studies and then biostatistics. She retired to Norman in 2015 to be closer to family, and there she was an active member of St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Norman, Oklahoma.


And that, is my good news for the day. I miss seeing so much good news stuff after Comic Con, which, is STUFFED with good news, from friends you only see once a year, waiting in the Hall H line, from authors, artists, movie makers, and actors.

  1. Wasn't there a guy who invited everybody to a paintball shootout at his funeral, where the last man standing would inherit his estate - all sorts of men's toys like interesting cars etc.?
