Know any women living close to 100 yrs.?

[limewave]

My paternal great-grandmother lived to be 104 years old. Both of my grandmother's lived well into their 90's. My paternal grandmother was a true fighter. I had been called to her "deathbed" 4-5 times. It kind of became a joke in the family. There was the bad car accident that left her on life-support in her 80's, the blood-infection that had her in intensive care for weeks, and then the cancer that brought many close calls in her 90s. She was a very strong woman

Although both my grandmothers had complicated health issues late in life, they both had full and active lifestyles until their 90's. My maternal grandmother lived in a senior community and went to dances every weekend, traveled, and volunteered. My paternal grandmother went to many of her grandchildren's extra curricular activities that she could until she had to go into a nursing home in her 90's. She also volunteered and participated in her community events.
