This is actually a stealth bragging topic, I'm not sad because she was a wonderful woman and a badass who won at life, gg great grandma

I have some slight regrets because I'm 28 and old enough to have had a kid with a living great-great-grandmother, which would have been cool as fuck, but it wasn't to be

I find this interesting because my grandma died in 2014 at 97 and she would be 100 right now... only one year younger than your great-grandmother

Then again, I have a nephew who's older than me

Did she have any great great grandchildren from anyone else in your familial generation?

I didn't even meet a single one of my great-grandparents :/

Sorry to hear, but yes, at least she lived a long, happy life.

I'm her oldest great-grandchild in my immediate family by a fair margin, there's six of us great-grandkids in all, two others of which are of reasonable child-bearing age but they don't have kids either. Family trees extend so damn far at that level that it's possible she has a great great grandchild somewhere else but I wouldn't know. Even at 101 you have to have kids young for a while.

The best part of all this by the way is that she was still like 100% mentally healthy, never suffered from alzheimer's, was really pleasant to visit and talk to which is astonishing for someone that old. I can only hope I got all her good genes and that I can take care of my brain that well if I even live to be 80.

Sounds like she was very fortunate. We could all only hope to be so lucky.
