If you're into family history, get as much as you can from her now.

Wish I'd done that with my grandma, her sisters, and her friends. She knew so much. For example, at the little country churches where I went as a kid, there are a few unmarked graves. She knew who was buried where. Now that's lost to history, unless the church has some records - and I sorta doubt they do.
