I hope this doesn't sound shallow, but I always enjoyed going to her house for Christmas or Thanksgiving - to talk to her - but also to eat the meal she made, especially the way she cooked the Turkey stuffing (a dryer version than most people make). My larger point is that she was a good host, a good cook, and her hospitality will be missed.
