Ms. Hoffner's adventures are not done yet. There are more wishes on her bucket list. To find out what she’ll tackle next, read more in AP News.

I have all the respect in the world for her. Jumping out of a plane feels like a bridge too far for me, but never say never.

I agree with you, something I could never, ever do. I admire her grit, but it's certainly not on MY bucket list.

Sadly, Dorothy's earthly adventures have ended as the Associated Press reported that she passed away in her sleep on Monday, October 9. She lived life to its fullest every day; something we all should do. Enjoy your celestial adventure, Dorothy!
