What age were your parents when they died?

Dad died at 65, heart attack. It was fast.

Mom died at 77, lungs shot and she refused treatment. She ordered a DNR and went to hospice.
She could have lived longer using oxygen and living with Hubby and I. She did not want to do that. If she couldn't live in her own little house with her little garden & yard - she was over it. She passed away peacefully with no pain. (good drugs)
 

Dad was 83 - Pancreatic cancer, 18 years ago, he went pretty quickly.
Mom was 94 - End stage congestive heart failure, 7 months ago....she lingered for years as a housebound invalid and was in hospice care for 2 months, dying slowly. I was the only family in the picture.
