re: How old is your oldest living great-grandparent, grandparent, great aunt/uncle, or parent?

I'm 53, so all my grandparents are gone. I still miss them ...

Great Aunt. 105.

Taught school in Orleans Parish for almost 70 years. Lives on Perkins Road and I just made her stop driving about 3 years ago.

Your great aunt is a badass.

My paternal grandmother is 94. My maternal grand parents lived to 88 and 89.

......my paternal grandfather drank himself to death at 59.

My Mother's older Brother(my Uncle) is 92 and until 2 years ago was doing push-ups every morning.

I am now the oldest Male(Patriarch),at 56,at Family gatherings now,since an Uncle's death.

That's kind of hard for me to wrap my mind around.

I'm 44 and both of my grandmothers are still living. Paternal is 89 and the maternal is 86. Paternal grandfather died a few years ago at 93. Maternal grandfather died at 69 of cancer. Had a great aunt die a few years ago at 97. I hope I've inherited some of their longevity. Unfortunately, my dad died a few years ago of a heart attack at 61. He was a long time heavy smoker though.

I have not had a grand since high school. Never even saw two of them. Never had a great ever.

My great aunt is 105 and has never has air conditioning in her house....ever. Now that is bad arse.

I have a second cousin living in Lucca, Italy that will turn 103 the second week of August.

I have an uncle who is 87. Just retired last September. Dude worked for the parish for like 60 years mostly doing land maintenance and shite.
