A California great-grandmother and cancer survivor celebrated her 90th birthday this month by skydiving from 13,000 feet above the ground.
Shirley Tatter of Dunnigan chose to embrace her thrill-seeking side in celebration of her 90th birthday, completing a bucket list item on Aug. 16.
The man, who just turned 90, was accompanied by professional skydivers from Skydance Skydiving as he jumped from a plane at Yolo County Airport.

“It was fun. I don't think I'll ever walk again,” she said with a laugh.
