Read: Hillary Clinton Is About to Launch the Most Boring Presidential Campaign in Years

Elaine Fydrych, who died from lung cancer last week, was many things in her 63 years: a loving wife, mother, and charismatic performer. But one thing that she was most definitely not was a Hillary Clinton supporter.

As reported by the New York Daily News, the New Jersey resident's obituary highlights her lifelong love for the theater and comedy; she had a stand-up set on a local Comcast comedy special in 2008. But at the very end of the obit were explicit instructions: "In lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Hillary Clinton."

Fydrych's husband told Fox News, "Elaine was a very beautiful woman inside and out. She was very talented, and she did a lot of comedy, and always had a line, a wisecrack."

In the 71 comments in her online memorial guestbook, people from all over the country have offered their condolences and vows not to vote for the Democratic presidential contender.

One woman from Easton, Massachusetts, went one step further and wrote: "Elaine, I will gladly honor your request to not vote for Hillary Clinton. I will also one up that and I will make campaign contributions to her political rivals in lieu of flowers."
