The remains of 95-year-old Ann Bunch were tucked away in a Florida storage unit by her hoarder daughter for nearly 17 years.

Miss Bunch died of three heart attacks and a paralyzing stroke in 1994, and was going to be buried, her family told the Tampa Bay Times. In fact, a blue coffin was prepared for her made specially by her grandson.

Unfortunately, however, the funeral didn’t occur – her daughter Bobbie Barnett Hancock was broke and couldn’t afford the expense of transferring the body.  So, Rebecca Fancher, Bunch’s other daughter took one for the team and added another item to her massive collection of knick-knacks.

However, money issues catches up to everyone and Fancher could no longer afford to pay for her storage unit, and all the items had to be sold at auction. Yeah, that’s sort of how she was found out.

Well, the issue is apparently not laid to rest, as Fancher’s ex-husband contains that his ex-wife Rebecca could never let go:

“Bobbie had trouble facing the fact that her mother was gone,” John Setlow said. He points out that Fancher loved her mother very much, and that her role model grew up during the time of the Great Depression and developed a mentality where you had to make sure you keep and obtain things due to scarcity. This is how his ex-wife picked up her habit, he maintains.

As for the remains, they remain in a chapel where they are being kept until arrangements can be made to bury or cremate her.
