After he died, her family came to know how bad off she was. She did not have, or know how to use a debit card. She could not go into a bank and withdraw money. She didn't even know how to pay her bills, or what bills she had for that matter. She had turned all that over to her husband and with him gone she was helpless. This lady needed and wanted a savior, so she turned the bill paying duties over to her family. She was not interested in independence. She didn't think she could learn, so she did what she normally did, - found another superhero.

Ernestine Shepard, female body builder, began working out at age 56 and went on to win several body building titles. She received the Guinness World Record for being the oldest female bodybuilder at age 81. Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote ‘Little House in the Big Woods,’ when she was 62, which later became the well-known television series ‘Little House on the Prairie.’ ’ Gladys Burrill became famous for completing the Honolulu marathon at age 92, she started running at age 86.

Lisa Wheeler founded Strap-Mate, a bra concealing business at age 70. Lastly, Mary Kay Ash, owner of Mary Kay Cosmetics started her business at age 45. These few got a late start in life, but the key is that they got started. They did not give up. They have proved that we are never too old to dream.
