She also loved to shop for clothes and shoes and would always be dressed up and looking wonderful with her accessories, which would include her purse, earrings shoes, etc. She also liked to play her portable piano. You could tell her a song and she could play it from memory. People could not get over how well she dressed and looked for her age.
