This is a long shot. But I wonder if maybe she was going to a funeral? Last month, my 88 year old uncle drove 6 hours to his sister-in-law’s funeral. He left at 6am, and none of us were expecting him. He said he’d known her since he was six years old and just had to be there. He doesn’t have dementia, though. It’s often forgotten that the elderly are still people, you know? They can be heartbroken and can feel strongly and be compelled to act - and be hard-headed and determined - just like the rest of us… A beloved cousin or a friend passing (or in their final days), may have been a trigger for her. Just a thought.
