What's the oldest age

[Jazzy1]

What's the oldest age someone in your family has lived to?

 

[hollydolly]

96.. and he was run over by a bus when walking to the pub for his daily whisky ...truth !

 

[Pepper]

My father's mother, Grandma Annie, lived to be over 100, which was a surprise, as she was sickly for decades and a former heavy smoker. Her son, my dad, only made it to 65.....

 

[katlupe]

My father who lived to 93. He had a stroke while working in his garage fixing a carburetor. He died 3 weeks later.

 

[CallMeKate]

The oldest person in my family (so far!) died a year ago this month and she was 101. I say "so far" because I have an uncle now who is 98 and doing very well.

 

[IrishEyes]

My mom's brother - 76 I am fast closing in on that. He is the only one who suffered from Dementia in the family.

 

[JustDave]

In my immediate family, it's me. I'm not sure how old my grandfather was when he died, but it might be close to where I am. My mother's side was hit hard by cancer, most died very early.

 

[That Lady in PA]

92 and counting

 

[moviequeen1]

both of my parents died a few months before they turned 80

 

[Pappy]

My dad lived to 102. RIP Marine.

 

[C50]

I have a brother who is 81 right now, he is at an older age than my parents or grand parents ever reached. My family has always lived hard and died young.

 

[EmptyCup]

Great-grandfather, 102. Grandfather, 99.

 

[officerripley]

Maternal great aunt: 102.

 

[Trade]

My old m,an died at age 45 and my mom at 53. That's an average of 49 years. I'm 78. So the way I see it, I've had my 49 years plus 29 of somebody elses. Maybe yours.

 

[Ted01]

My mother's father lived to 106, her mother 104... mother lived to 99.
I'll need more coffee if I have to follow suit...

 

[dusty]

My Uncle Jim, who was either 103 or 105, can't recall but he was walking and tripped over a rock and hit his head. He was a wonderful Uncle.

 

[Murrmurr]

As far as I know, my maternal great-grandmother lived the longest, passing away at 96. My mom was the 2nd longest-lived, dying at 88. Most of us check-out in our mid 70s.

And after thinking about it, I cant' think of any who died of natural causes, except for my great-grandma. It's always been an illness, an accident, or a war.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

My paternal grandmother was my longest living relative. She died at age 91. She had 9 children, and the longest living was my aunt, who died at age 88. I'm embarrassed to say I did not know this information and had to do 45 minutes of internet research this morning to find it.

 

[Sliverfox]

My father was short 3 months of turning 101.

 

[timoc]

What's the oldest age​

It will likely be me because I don't intend winding down untill I've turned 194.

 

[debodun]

My maternal grandmother lived to be 90. Next oldest was my paternal grandfather - he lived to be 89.

 

[Veronica]

My Grandmother passed away at 95. My Great Grandmother at 91.
At 75 Im the oldest and only one left in my family. I figure Ive got at least another 20 left to go.

 

[HoneyNut]

The oldest was my maternal's paternal grandmother (great-grandmother to me) who lived until age 91.

 

[Kika]

My grandmother's twin sister died at 105. My grandmother died in her early 90s, for some reason I don't remember if she was 92 or 93. My Dad died 2 weeks before his 93rd birthday.

My paternal grandmother was my longest living relative. She died at age 91. She had 9 children, and the longest living was my aunt, who died at age 88. I'm embarrassed to say I did not know this information and had to do 45 minutes of internet research this morning to find it.
