The courageous women also said that she had served six years in the U.S. Navy, and raised two of her sons as a single mother.
Meiselbach, who jumped along with a 60-year-old instructor on April 24 at Skydive Ranch in Gardiner, NY, suffered only a chest bruise caused due to rubbing of the harness of the parachute against her pacemaker.
The thrill loving Meiselbach is also planning to go back and jump with 10 friends for her 80th birthday in October.
