The Australian completed her first skydive to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2016 and returned the following year to raise funds for research into motor neuron disease, having lost her daughter to the illness years earlier.
Last weekend, she was back in the air over the Langhorne Creek Drop Zone in Australia.
She took the plunge from 4,300 metres to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease of South Australia.
It was the third time that she jumped with SA Skydiving instructor Jed Smith, a 24-year-old paramedic who took up the sport at 14-years-old.
