This might sink like a rock, having had longevity threads recently, but. . .
Who’s the oldest person you’ve known with a living parent or grandparent?
I’ll start (“yo” is my shorthand for “year(s) old”):
My 79yo grandmother (whose mother actually outlived her.)
My 60yo uncle (son of preceding) had a living grandmother.
Definitely not me. My maternal grandpa died while holding me when I was a month old <he was in the hospital with cancer already>; my paternal grandpa died when my dad was 18; my paternal grandma died a couple years ago at 93 (and she was still seamstressing! The um…regular kind of seamstressing 
) and my maternal grandma…hrm. My mom disassociated herself with her family over 50 years ago, and to be honest I have no idea if she’s alive or not. If she is, she’s only about 75 or so.
Not me, either. I was in my mid-30s when my last grandparent died, in his early 90s.
Oh, and I was 52 when my last parent died, in her 80s.
The 1930 census shows my 55-year-old great aunt sharing her house with her 91-year-old father (and my mom, who was two at the time). Great Grandfather Ebert presumably was still living there when he died nine years later.
I still have one grandmother living and I’m 43. Since she’s only 83 and her mother lived until her mid 90’s I suspect that I’ll be in my 50’s before she dies.
I’m 45 and still have a grandfather living. My husband is 50 and still has his Granny.
Not I. Both parents dead by the time I turned 28, and all grandparents dead by the time I was 29. I can’t think of anyone I know who can beat the examples given here.
My mother just turned eighty. She has a living mother!
That’s my grandmother, who is 107 years old. I’m 57 myself.
My dad was 60 when his 98 y/o mom died.
My boyfriend’s dad is 65 and his mother is still alive. My mom 62 and her father is still alive, and is older than my boyfriend’s grandmother.
Baker has her beat, but my wife is 48 and has a living grandmother who will turn 95 this year.
But she has lost both of her parents within the last 5 months at 69 and 70. Not that we don’t love Granny, but shit, life ain’t fair.
My great-grandmother, Dad’s Mom’s Mom, died at 84 years old. I remember her, and for some reason I remember that she was still alive in 1984, so let’s say she died in 1986. Dad would’ve been 39ish. Not a winner, but still respectable.
(Come to think of it, my brother was 38/39 when Dad’s Mom died a couple of years ago.)
My cousin might be a contender someday. She’s what, 44? And our grandmother is still alive at 85, and going really really strong. (I’m only 35 myself, so I doubt I’ll set any records.)
A friend of mine’s grandmother died when his father was about in his early 80’s. The Grandmother was well into her 100’s.
A friend of mine is 60 and has brought her 106-year old mother home to live with her.
A co-worker of my father’s has a grandmother who is turning 105 years old on May 22. She is originally from Italy and came to Australia in 1947. I haven’t seen her in a year, but I know she’s alive. I forget her name - I think it’s Albina.
Her two surviving kids, a daughter and a son, are 81 and 77 respectively. Her older son died late in 2001 at 77 (he would have been 88 in September). Her older daughter died April 27. She was due to turn 85 in June. This woman husband’s been dead since 1963. She was only 16 when she got married. I still can’t believe someone born in 1924 could have a living mother, but I guess it’s possible for now.
Her oldest grandchild was born in June of 1948. So this woman is 64 and still has a living grandmother.
She’s doing fine despite her age, but I remember that she needs a walker to move around and has a full set of dentures (which I actually remember her showing me:p).
(My dad’s coworker is 53. His parents are both dead, and his living grandmother is his mother’s mother.)
A neighbour of mine died in 2000 aged 73. Incredibly his father was still alive at the age of 100. He died in 2002, aged 103.
My mom is 85 and is juuust now starting to show some signs of slowing down. She’s thinking that she might have to cancel her plans to kayak between the Galapagos Islands (again) later this year.
She also has a 99-year-old aunt.
And he has nephews/nieces in their forties.
Who is the oldest person you know who has 4 living grandparents?
Oldest I know is my SIL’s older sister, who is in her early thirties.
Me. I’m 56 and my grandmother is still going strong. I took her jetskiing a few years ago.
