I have a grandmother in Vietnam that is 95 or 96 years old. Which is amazing! I think it's great considering they lived in a country less developed than us. I met her for the first time a few years ago and it was so great to finally visit the country and meet her. I have no other living grandparents. My mother's parents unfortunately died fairly young in Vietnam. My father's dad died about 10 years ago, I think?

Oh, my parents are still alive at ages 68 & 58.

My gran is 87 and quite healthy other then arthritis. Her husband died young in surgery.

My other grandparents are younger - 74 and 76. My grandpa has quite a few health problems lately though.

DH has a 95 year old grandma! Still lives on her own too.

I had one grandmother die at 39 (kidney failure) and one grandfather die at 33 (hit by drink driver). My other grandparents both lived to 82 (stroke and Parkinson's). My mom died of ovarian cancer at age 58. My dad is 64 - I hope he kicks around for a little while longer!

My parents and my husband's parents are in good health in their 60's and 70's. My Grandfathers all died young: My dad's died when Dad was 19, mom's died when I was 6. Dad's mom died when she was in her 70's but she had Alzheimer's. Mom's mom died at 92.

My husband's grandmother is still kicking at 102. She has no idea who anyone is anymore, though....

@travellingbee: Ooh fun, I got 89.75.

I never met my paternal grandparents as they passed well before I was born. My maternal grandfather passed away due to lung cancer when I was 4, and my maternal grandmother took her own life when I was 9.

DH's maternal grandmother is still with us. She's 86 and going strong! I don't know the history of his other grandparents.

My paternal grandfather died of...sepsis, I think...following an operation when he was in his 60s, but all of my other grandparents are in their 80s. Two of them have Parkinsons, though, and the other one is just in bad health.

D's family must have discovered the fountain of youth somewhere, though. Two years ago D's 76 year old aunt nad her 87 year old aunt HIKED down into the bottom of the grand canyon. Earlier this summer the now 77 year old aunt walked 120 something miles of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. She seriously has an insane amount of energy. Both sets of his grandparents lived well into their 90s, as did their siblings. My FIL is in his mid-60s and is a mountain climber and both he and MIL go on double digit boke rides in the morning for fun.

And I'm just sitting here like "I want to be curled up with a book or sleeping".

Both of my grand parents passed away early in their 60's on both sides. My parents are still alive, 51 & 58.

Although I have a great aunt that is 85, and in perfect health. Actually she still teaches a ballroom dancing class, she just taught one with a recital with 60 people!!
