94 is the oldest relative I’m aware of. It was my great grandfather. Staying active his whole life, a simple diet, and a generally positive outlook seems to have been the key.
Great-grandma was 103 when she died, she was born in 1899 and saw so many changes in her life.
I remember her sitting on the porch smoking her pipe and telling me of her life. Even when she was
very old she still took delight in so many things.
Her favorite in the whole world was her television. As a teenager, she would sneak of to watch movies
at the local cinema, that was just a room with a bunch of chairs set up. So when televisions came out
she was over the moon.
My grandmas both lived to 100, grandma died in March this year. I doubt I will live that long what with
plastic in our bodies and brains.
Plastics may be invading our lives now, but her time wasn’t without pollutants like lead or asbestos.
We should try to be healthy despite the pollution
Currently have a great-grandmother at 102. She still lives by herself, with people stopping by and checking on her most days of the week. Someone drives her to a quilting club every week, she doesn't have the dexterity to sew anymore but lines up tiles for the others lol.
99 years and ten months for my great grandma. She was in fairly good condition, lucid of mind, able to see, hear, and move although she did walk slowly with the aid of a cane.
My gramps died at 88 but he was a lifelong smoker and alcoholic and had emphysema for the last decades of his life so I believe that without addiction he'd probably have lived to 100.
