But most mornings, she drives herself 20 minutes from her house in Cincinnati to Mason, Ohio to clock into her shift as a part-time fabric cutter at Joann Fabric and Crafts store.
She's been working at the store for 26 years — and it's still one of her favorite ways to spend time.
"I'll work for as long as I can or as long as they'll have me."
Her daughter, Donna Burns, was working at the store part-time and recommended her for the role, thinking it might be a welcome distraction from the grief.
Ultimately, there's no secret to living a longer, happier life, says Burns, but "working has helped."
