David Letterman remembers mom Dorothy Mengering in touching eulogy
Late-night comedy icon David Letterman honored his mother Dorothy Mengering Saturday, reflecting on her resilience and nurturing ways in a moving eulogy in Indianapolis.
Mengering, who often appeared on her son’s late-night talk show, died Tuesday at 95, but not before she proved herself a warm, welcoming presence for TV viewers — and a fierce, no-nonsense force to be reckoned with in the garden.
Letterman, 70, recounted to the crowd of family and friends gathered at the Second Presbyterian Church the time his mother spotted a snake in her garden, and quickly grabbed a hoe to chop off its head, USA Today reports.
