When **rma Jean Bauerschmidt was diag**sed with uterine cancer at age 90 last year, the Michigan resident opted **t to undergo cancer treatment.
Instead, she chose to tour the United States in a motor home captained by her son Tim and his wife Ramie.
The trio visited national parks, attended county fairs and even watched orcas off the coast of Washington — a journey followed by millions of people and chronicled on the Facebook page, "Driving Miss **rma (https://www.facebook.com/DrivingMiss**rma/)."
Bauerschmidt, 91, died Sept. 30 in her bed in the motor home, her family said.
