Omission of verbs?

Are all patterns correct? I've seen 2) most often, and 3) sounds wrong. I am not sure whether 1) is acceptable.

I took my umbrella with me (. )

1) as she told me.
2) as she told me to.
3) as she said.

Colloquially you may hear 1 and possibly even 3, but only 2 looks correct to me.
