She lived an amazing life; born in 1889 on the Minnesota prairie at a time when dying from starvation by spring or by Sioux violence was quite possible. She saw the rise of the automobile, the airplane, two world wars, man on the moon and the beginnings of the information age.
She was an incredibly tough person who raised 5 children spanning 8 years during the great depression.
And she made great cookies.
She died in 1993 of natural causes at age 104.
You win.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
