My great-grandmother on my mom's side lived to be 99. They held this really big birthday party for her 90th because they thought she wasn't much longer for the world and she kicked around another nine years.

She was really sharp and active until the last three years of her life were altered by a stroke. She lived with my Paw Paw for the last 40 years of her life. It was crazy to me that he had his mother in his life until he was 80.

Anyway, she was a cool lady. Always gave us ginger snaps and let us watch Airwolf on her Zenith console tv.

Not so sure. My paternal grandfather died at 63 from a heart attack after getting hit hard in the chest in an auto accident. Father had triple bypass at 69. Mother had a single by-pass at 63 and they fricked it up. SHe is still going though despite other health issues. But I have been going to the cardiologist yearly as a preventative for lipids and a stress ultrasound. He keeps saying it looks great. So maybe so.

My grandmother who loved to 92, beat cancer twice (breast at 75, then uterine). She died about 45 days after a stroke when did not recover from pnemonia.

Great grandma hit 103. She smoked for 85 years straight. Quit when she moved in with her daughter
Dad's mom is 90
Dad's dad died @ 64
Mom's mom is 84 and still works 5 days/week
Mom's dad is 87


All of the women on my mom's side go into their upper 90s. My mom's mom will easily hit 100. No idea how my dad's mom is still alive. She's had 3 different types of cancer and battles melanoma, a stroke, a few head injuries, and broken hip, leg, arms, and shoulders. She's a tough old broad.

I don't see myself making it past 65....if I even make it there. The guys in my family haven't exactly lived the safest lives. I'm surprised my dad and one grandpa are still kicking

My maternal grandmother died on Thursday aged 93.

Fell and broke her arm a couple of months ago and never fully recovered...survived 4-5 days after the doctors stopped all treatment, food etc. Convinced she would have lived to 100 without that fall but at that age you need the little push over the edge and you don't come back from it

Maternal great-grandmother 98 and grandmother 90 - would've made 91 today actually. Hoping I inherited their genes.
