The Taken Down star took to Instagram to celebrate her grandmother’s life by sharing memories and stories about her life.

She praised the 98-year-old, whose name was Esther, for always remaining positive.

“Thank you for all the Wednesday clubs & stories that will keep us laughing forever. Thank you for being a such an incredible woman we were all so lucky to have for 98 years. We will keep the force of your fierce energy with us every day. Two glasses of Guinness will be waiting for you wherever you are, and every Guinness raised will be raised for you. TO ESTHER!”
