She worked in Smith&Wesson's factory custom shop (the Wessons lived close by), and shot on the company pistol team in competitions.

I last saw her at year ago at my mother's funeral. Now in her mid-90s she managed the rough terrain and side hill of the cemetery pretty quickly with no assistance. Genuine old New England Yankee, and genuine badass.

Sorry the end of the article was clipped off but you can make out what they are saying.
I found out yesterday that Badass Aunt Dot decided 99 years was enough of this shit and headed off to the Happy Hunting Grounds. I'll post her obit when I get it.
