Linda Williams hates funerals. So when the 76-year-old was diagnosed with terminal cancer a year ago, she decided early on that she didn't want a funeral after her passing. 

She wanted a party while she was still here💃.

🥳 Let's dance... Linda spent the better part of a year planning the party with some friends she met at a Lindy Hop dance class.

  • While she had a health scare and almost passed away a few weeks prior, Linda thankfully made it to her party and danced the night away. The strong senior described the event as "the best night " of her life.
  • "I very nearly died just before it but I thought 'I am going to flipping well get there,'" she shared. "I just decided I would go for it and everybody had a phenomenal time."
