Ive been quiet about this since I got the news on Wednesday afternoon...... Early Wednesday morning heaven gained an incredible angel...... My great-aunt Mabel was an amazing woman who lived an equally amazing life. I loved to hear her stories of when she was young and a dancer, when she and my great-uncle had their boat, her traveling stories when she and my grandmother traveled to Vegas among various other places after they both retired. She was a classy, spunky, fiercely independent woman, who up until last year (at age 93) still lived on her own in her own house, still drove, did all of her own cleaning, made all of her own appointments, was in pretty great shape both physically and mentally and generally got around unassisted until a broken hip forced her to the hospital last summer. Her pure determination and nothing can stop me attitude never ceased to amaze me, not just after the broken hip, but throughout many situations she faced over the previous years. She truly was an incredible woman and I was blessed to have had her as my great-aunt.
