What is the eldest age that a family member of yours has died?

CorkMan

My great-grandmother lived until she was 98 years of age, she only died 4 years before I was born!

She was alright for most of her live, but she spent her last 4 years in a home.

I've a great auntie who's 93 (I think) at the moment, when she dies she'll be the oldest. The oldest age someone's died at the moment is about 88.


All my grandparents died before they were 80

My family don't live very long.... Lucky me

Jesus, fair play to her for spending 94 years out on the streets.

Great-grandmother was 96 I think.

Great granaunt was 99 when she died (just over 2years ago), 4mths off her 100th. Great woman, sorely missed. We have a great pic of 5 generations of the family, from her down to my son who was 9mths old when she died.

Celebrated my Granny's 90th bday a few weeks ago, and she's going strong, we all reckon she'll go the distance too.

My Grandfather, he was two months short of the big 100.

My great grandfather lived to 101 and my granny to 93.

Everyone dies kinda young in my family-don't think anyone's made it past 85ish, and that's going back a few generations, on both sides..

Grandad - 97, Granny 88 - mum's side
Other Granny 90. Don't know about Grandad on dad's side - died before I was born

None of them were ill, required care or a nursing home. My 97 year old Grandad was working on his farm when he died and was very fond of the pipe.

My grandad died last Saturday. He would have been 90 on Christmas eve. Pretty sure that's the oldest family member of mine who has died, as far as I can remember anyway.

You realise this is now slang for cóck?

My Granny was 76, oldest of all my grandparents and grand uncles/aunts

Must be something in the water in North Tipp. Or the fact that our county hospital was downgraded.

Where are ye living that people live to over 90?

Longevity of some of the people mentioned on this thread, is very impressive!

Great gran died a few years ago at 94. Thats it for me.


Growing up I had 2 grand mothers, 1 grandfather, 2 great grand mother and 1 great grandfather alive.

Old people are funny.
