That is HORRIBLE!!! SO much RAGE at that!
I agree, except I've seen so many changes in our moral and social conventions from when I became civilized at the age of 12*, that I'm not surprised.
It almost seems that social media like Facebook have become "back fences" for neighborhood gossip. Except the "neighborhood" now encompasses the whole world.
With my forgiving nature, I suggest that the daughter in law was just getting the news out to any and all concerned before formal notices were published or a phone network could be established.. Which is sort of a good thing, when you consider that "back fence" kind of thing we see nowadays.
So I'm almost more enraged at the changes in society I've seen since I was 12 than the raw facts of the OP.

* Summer of 1951, when Mom sent me to an etiquette school for boys, which fork went where, preceding a female down the stairs, following a female up the stairs, door holding, and like "civilizing" stuff fer us'n roughnecks. Sears also put on an equivalent "charm school" for girls. She used to farm me out almost every summer to get me out of the house. One thing that stuck with me and I'm still grateful for was the typing class she made me take... 1953....? Time blurs time.
