Frugal 91-Year-Old Woman Was A Secret Millionaire

A 91-year-old woman who passed away in Washington state shocked her community by leaving behind millions. She was known for wearing tattered clothing and hanging onto broken furniture, but was sitting on $3 million.

Seattle’s KOMO News reports the woman left all the money to charity, including $500,000 to a Seattle hospice — the organization’s largest donation ever. She left another half million to the Salvation Army.
