Paternal grandma died at 81
I’m 65.3 right now. Looking over my shoulder a LOT.
Maternal side of the family - everyone died in their 70s
Paternal side of the family - everyone died in their 80s
Most of my brother-in-law’s male relatives died early of lung problems; often, I think, by their 50’s.
He’s 80 and still going strong. Hang in there.
Paternal grandfather - 61, another black lung-related death of a former coal miner.
Paternal grandmother - 85, stomach cancer.
Maternal grandfather - 49, hospital infection after a minor surgery.
Maternal grandmother - 75, bone cancer.
Mother died last month, a few days shy of her 80th birthday (severe undiagnosed hypertension>congestive heart failure>hypertensive crisis>massive ischemic stroke). Her little brother went the previous month at 71 (heart primarily). Two of three paternal aunts went in their 70’s. Father still doing reasonable okay at ~82 though he had his own bout with kidney cancer, successfully treated with surgery.
Extreme longevity (90+) I think is unheard of in my paternal line, rare occurrence in the maternal. I’m not sanguine about breaking any longevity records.
My paternal grandfather died at 102.
My paternal grandmother followed tradition by dying shortly afterwards, even though she was 92.
My maternal grandfather was in his early 80s, and my maternal grandfather was in her late 70s.
A couple of my grandmother’s siblings lived into their 100’s, and my father’s side of the family is known for long lives. My father was 80 when he died and he was the sibling who died the youngest.
Unfortunately my mother lost a long battle with cancer when she was 69. I have now outlived her.
Neither of my paternal grandparents died of natural causes:
My grandfather died very young, in combat in WWII. Obviously I never knew him.
My grandmother died around age 70, in a car accident.
On my mother’s side my grandfather died at 69 from a heart attack, and my grandmother died at age 100 from an infection.
My own parents are both still alive. My mom is 86 and my dad is 91. Both in pretty good health considering their ages.
Grandfather 1 - died around 80, lung issues due to smoking
Grandmother 1 - died around 80, dementia. Also a smoker, fwiw.
Grandfather 2 - died around 85, heart failure. Very healthy lifestyle
Grandmother 2 - died around 95, old age. Also very healthy lifestyle
Parents in their late 70s, alive and well, thank the gods.
Dad Parents - 98 & 94
Mothers Parents 68 (cancer) & 85
Dad - 89
Mom - 91
If I make it to the the average, I have thee decades left
Father’s parents - Grandpa 79, Grandma 93
Mother’s parents - Grandpa 67, Grandma 72
Dad died 59 years old
Mom died 97 years old (despite her parents ages, she, her aunts and cousins all lived well into their 90s.)
Paternal grandfather, 68, officially of heart disease, but he had a lot of health issues, any one of which could have killed him: diabetes, strokes, and kidney disease.
Paternal grandmother, 89, officially listed as heart disease, but essentially old age.
Paternal grandfather, 76, of a stroke suffered a few days after an accidental blow to the head
Maternal grandmother, 54, of heart disease
Father, 70, of heart disease
Mother, 64, of cancer
Very few people on my mother’s side of the family seem to die at a “normal” age. Almost all of them die either before they hit 70, some as young as mid-30s, or after they hit 85, some as old as late 90s. My grandfather was one of the rare exceptions. If he hadn’t been accidentally hit on the head by construction debris at the age of 76, I suspect he would have lived into his late 80s or early 90s like his siblings.
My mother and her four siblings died in the reverse order of their births. The first to die was the youngest sibling (age 34, car crash), then the second-youngest (64, cancer), then the middle child (69, cancer), then the second-oldest (91, stroke). The only one left alive is the firstborn, who is about to turn 95 and is still in pretty good health.
Maternal grandmother: 55 (cancer)
Maternal grandfather: 65 (cancer)
Paternal grandmother: 60 (staph pneumonia)
Paternal grandfather: 82
Mother: 59 (staph pneumonia)
Father: 69 (COPD)
So, not great. And imagine my poor Dad’s horror when Mom was diagnosed with the same thing that killed his mother 40 years earlier…
My paternal grandparents died at 85 and 82. The latter was my grandmother who had a serious stroke about 45 years before she died, but she had made a pretty good recovery. Don’t know much about my grandfather. Never met him. He and my grandmother divorced around the time my parents were married (family lore says my folks were in city hall getting their marriage license the same day my grandparents got their divorce decree). My dad just cut his father off. Blamed him for the divorce (he was married several more times, so, yeah, probably). My dad died at 59, but he was a heavy smoker. Lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema. The trifecta.
My maternal grandparents died at 74 and 92. The former, my grandfather, had heart disease and was rather sickly for the last decade or so of his life. Although my grandmother died at a ripe old age, she had dementia (don’t know if it was Alzheimer) for at least 20 years before she died. My mom died at 84 from a bleed in her brain caused by a fall. The surgery was a success, but she never recovered consciousness.
In my family, we’re very long-li
When I was born, I still had two living great grandparents, my maternal grandmother’s parents. They both died at an estimated 82. My mother’s parents were both estimated to have been born in 1885, but there were no birth records. They died in 1954 and 1961, so about 69 and 76. My father was 7 years older than my mother, but I have no idea when they were born. A reasonable guess in 1880. They died in 1955 and 1962 so roughly 75 and 82. My father died at 63 and mother at 78. So, at 86, I’ve outlived the whole lot.
They all smoked, as did I until I had a heart attack at 28 and quit on the spot. FWIW. My father’s death was definitely smoking related.
I have a friend who is now in his early 70s; I met him 40 years ago, when he was probably just past 30. When he was younger, he regularly would point out that his father had died in his early 50s, and that none of his immediate male relatives had lived any longer than his father had.
He was, thus, convinced that he had lost the genetic lottery, and that he, too, would die young. By the time he was in his late 40s, he was already bemoaning that, “I probably don’t have much time left.” Then, when he got to the age that his father was when he died, he was even more morbid, saying, “I figure I’ll be dying any time now.”
Of course, he didn’t, and while he’s had his share of health issues (as many people do in their 50s and 60s), it hasn’t been anything even remotely life-threatening. His wife is extremely healthy, and makes sure that he eats well and gets exercise, and I imagine that that has helped.
At some point, when he got past 60, he stopped with the “I’m gonna die any time now” talk. He’s still kind of morbid, however. 
Anyway, the point is, even if your family is historically not given to longevity, it doesn’t mean that you are automatically doomed.
Paternal Grandfather 65, grandmother 99, father70
Maternal grandfather about 84, grandmother 49, mother 94
When I was born, I still had:
a living great great grandparent: my maternal grandfather’s grandmother. She was 90 at the time and lived to be 97.
two living great grandparents, my maternal grandfather’s father (70, lived to 77) and my maternal grandmother’s mother (73, lived to 83)
Paternal Grandfather 42 (he died in a shipwreck; his father died at 96)
Paternal grandmother 73
Maternal Grandfather 82
Maternal grandmother 94
Father 97
Mother 86 and still alive
I’ve filled out a couple of longevity predictors which said that I could live to 93
Mother - 98
Maternal grandmother - 81
Maternal grandfather - 89
(All died of cancer or cancer complications)
Father - 56 (had a weakened heart due to WW2 injuries)
Paternal grandfather -63
Paternal grandmother - 78
(All died of heart attacks)
I’m currently 70
A friend of mine said his doctor told him about the “fatal fifties.” That is, if you survive your fifties, you’re likely to live to a ripe old age. I haven’t seen any statistical support for this idea, but every time I see someone dying in their 50s, I think of it.
And my dad always told me about the ‘safe seventies’, based on his anecdotal observations. His theory was that if you survived your fifties and sixties, you had a better than even chance of living into your eighties.
Hope so, as I turned 70 two weeks ago.
