She loved her cats that she owned through the years and was a big fan of all the birds that came to feed in her back yard.
Yta played in her bridge card group for many years, and kept in touch with many of the members and her friends from her neighborhood until her passing. She worked at the family business in Philadelphia and Strawbridge & Clothier in Cherry Hill, NJ. She told many stories of her mother and father: In her youth, she met show business personalities since her father was in show business with his acrobatic dance show, which was shown on TV variety shows in the 1950's. Her mother danced in a ballet dance company of the same time period.
