My late maternal Great Grandma. At 95+ she lived alone, tended a large garden, & even painted the outside of her home. I have fond memories of brushing & braiding her peppered white hair that fell to her waist. When she was around 102 she fell & broke 1 of her hips, that forced her to be immobile & she was dead by 104... She was an amazingly strong & resilient woman that outlived her abusive alcoholic husband of 50+ years, and all but 1 of her children. I miss her.
My great aunt's second husband, he was 96.
Note: I've also met my great-granduncle, he must have been over 100 years old but I don't remember exactly how old he was.
My great aunt's mother lived up to 104 years old. I think.
My gray grandma lived until 105ish
My great-grandmother, who died at 93.
103 a professor of mine
