tough one. When it's her time, it'll be her time. Certainly don't want to put her at extra risk, but at the same time, what if this is the last chance.
I'd say that I'd leave it up to her. What would she rather do? My grandmother (almost the same age) is definitely all about avoiding. So there's no way that I'd want to try to drag her out. On the other hand, if we were all vaxed, and willing to be careful and she was interested in going out, then sure, why not.
My great grandmother lived with my grandparents. She was 97 or 98 and eating oat meal with them one morning same as every other day. As I heard the story she said "Oh" and fell into her bowl of oat meal and that was that. You just never know. My grandmother (^her^ daughter) has the same genes and is in her upper 90s (97, I think). She walks in the neighborhood any day that it's not raining, windy or too cold. She avoids people and crowds like the plague (no pun intended) because she doesn't want covid.
