She loved watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, The Price is right, Horse Racing and Boxing. She never missed watching the Colorado Rockies. She loved to visit, drink coffee and eat cookies…and always had stories to tell. She also liked to share jokes she’d find in one of her many newspaper subscriptions. She was proud of the fact that she was able to live alone and take care of herself for 99 1/2 years and she counted the days until her 100th birthday. On Christmas day 2021, just 4 days before her passing…we celebrated that “100 years old” milestone with her.
