    A California great-grandmother and cancer survivor celebrated her 90th birthday this month by skydiving from 13,000 feet above the ground.

    Shirley Tuter, of Dunnigan, chose to embrace her thrill-seeking side to mark her ninth decade on Earth and crossed off the bucket-list item on Aug. 16.

    The new nonagenarian jumped from the plane attached to a professional skydiver with the company SkyDance SkyDiving out of Yolo County Airport.
