During her last few years, she lived with her granddaughter, Samantha, where she enjoyed reading romance and mystery novels, crocheting blankets for her loved ones, tending to her rose garden, and soaking up the sun. While she loved spending quality time with her family on Earth, she was ready for her journey home.
