I have two great-grandmothers who lived until 96 or 97, both on my mother's side. My maternal grandmother lived until 94 and my maternal grandfather until 96 (unfortunately with dementia, the last four years or so were very sad for him). My father's side was more typical, with his father very sick and dying in his late 60s, I believe, and his mother dying at 82 of heart issues. My father died at 71 in a car accident, and my mom is still doing great at 77 (no big surprise, given her genetics!)

I would like to live as long as I am healthy and would love to make it to 100, but we shall see. I am much more dreading losing my DH, who is 7.5 years older than me and comes from a less long-lived line (tho both his parents are still doing rather well in their 80s) than I am dreading dying myself.

My maternal grandparents used to argue about who was supposed to "go" first. It was supposed to be my grandfather, since he knew he couldn't survive without my grandmother. Unfortunately, it was the other way around, and he literally could not live without her. He did live for 3.5 years after she died, but the quality of his life after he lost her (they'd been married over 60 years) was not good.
