Great-grandma was 103 when she died, she was born in 1899 and saw so many changes in her life. I remember her sitting on the porch smoking her pipe and telling me of her life. Even when she was very old she still took delight in so many things. Her favorite in the whole world was her television. As a teenager, she would sneak of to watch movies at the local cinema, that was just a room with a bunch of chairs set up. So when televisions came out she was over the moon. My grandmas both lived to 100, grandma died in March this year. I doubt I will live that long what with plastic in our bodies and brains.
Plastics may be invading our lives now, but her time wasn’t without pollutants like lead or asbestos. We should try to be healthy despite the pollution
What a century to be alive for! She saw so many things, both good and bad, and the amount of changes!
Great-grandma at 100, but she passed three years ago
Great grandpa 96. Grandma 94 (still alive) Mother’s aunt 93.
One of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War and died at 107.
My great-grandma is currently rocking a solid 100. AFAIK that’s the oldest.
94 I think. Mid 80’s is typical for my family, but smoking or drinking was usually a factor.
99 years and ten months for my great grandma. She was in fairly good condition, lucid of mind, able to see, hear, and move although she did walk slowly with the aid of a cane.
- My great granny watched the Titanic sail from Belfast as a toddler.
Great-grandma reached 100 this year.
The record is my maternal grandmother who lived to either 86 or 89, depending on what birth record you use.
I think my grandad made it to 99 and my grandma to just a bit under that.
My partner’s grandmother lived to 104.
My moms uncle lived to 115. It was a painful bed ridden last 5 years, but he made it.
I have several direct antecedents that lived over 100. The last was my paternal grandmother, who died in 2004 at the age of 103. She was born in 1901 and outlived 3 of her 6 children (one child was stillborn). Her last child, my Dad, died just this past February at the age of 88. He was the youngest.
No one made it to 60 gee thanks ALS and cancer. I spent half my life expectancy hating myself and being abused and now either one of those shits will take everything from me as soon as I finally cut ties with family. Sister died at 39, dad died at 56, grandparents also died in their 50s bro I should cut my losses
