On September 28, 2020, Georgia May Adkins of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, passed away due to a stroke at the age of 93.
Though she will be dearly missed by her friends and family, Adkins left behind a message that ensured she will also be remembered by the rest of the country.
After requesting a church service that follows pandemic-related protocols, Adkins requested a specific line be added to her obituary:
"In lieu of flowers, Georgia preferred that you do not vote for Trump."
The obituary quickly circulated through social media, where the President's critics seemed eager to fulfill Adkins's last request.
