Who is the oldest person you have known?

[exitseven]

My wife's cousin's mother in law had died. She was 110. I last saw her when she turned 100.

By birth year, or by the age of which I knew them?

By birth year, it's probably my late great-grandmother,. She was born in 1918.

Now, if you're talking about the oldest person I've ever known via age of which I knew them, it's probably this man I met in the Summer of 2021, when I was driving for Uber one day. He was a World War II Veteran, and he told me he was 97 years old.

Come to think of it, it's odd that I've still never met anyone who is at least 100 years old (at least that I know of), but I've known a lot of people who were/are in their 90s.

I knew someone who was 102. I met hime when he was 88, and I got to know him and I talked to him regularly at the park I frequented. His name was Gene and he had a zest for life, even at that age, and his laugh was infectious. You couldn't help but smile whenever you heard it. The next oldest person is my grandmother who just turned 100 a couple of months ago. 🙂

A 108 year old woman where I worked. You really had to yell to talk to her because she hated wearing her hearing aids. But she was walking, talking, and read the newspaper everyday.

It is good if you still have all your marbles. I know a woman whose father lived to 104. She said God did him no favors.

[IslaTheWitch]

My grandma was 98 when she passed away this year...

[exitseven]

so you have longevity genes.

[IslaTheWitch]

my auntie is 96 so... probably I also will be a white-haired very old lady :D

[Minxxie]

My one great grandma was 96 and the other great grandma was 98.

... apparently most of the women in my family live for ages, I'm not looking forward to that. Although, I guess by then I can just get a shot of CRISPR (genome editing) or some other rejuvenation tech and look and feel way younger.

If we are already close to curing aging now when I'm 28, but the time I'm in my 90s I'll just need to make sure I have the money for it and I'm good!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My 1st grade Teacher, Mrs. Turner lived to age 102, and she drove a car in her 90s with no problem I would run into her down at the local Foodland store, and she recognized me and I swear that woman was age 92 at the time but had the mind of a 70-year-old woman, she would talk very aware of everything around her just so amazing.

[4ngelic]

me?

jkjk

my great aunt (she died i think at 95)

[exitseven]

Yes, 107 is a long time

[Lliam]

I knew a lady who was almost 101 when she died. She was as sharp as a tack to the end. I loved hearing her stories from when she was young.

[BCRanger10]

I think it was my great aunt. She was born in August 1918 and died in July 2009, so just short of 91 years old.

[Sparkie460]

My dad was the oldest person I ever knew. He was 76 when he died

[exitseven]

My father was only 70.

[NathanDavis]

my ex's grandma, was a bit over a 100... they were not even completely sure, lol

[Thestupidusername]

Wow 110. That is old!

The oldest one I've known was like 95. He combefd his hair but he only had like 3 hairstaws on his bald head...👀

[Thestupidusername]

russell edgington

[andreasderjuengere]

It's myself:

I was born in 1963.

Here in Thailand we officially have the year 2566.

That makes me 603 years old :)

[menina]

It was a lady I interviewed for a school paper. She was 87 at the time.

[LazerBean]

A lady my mom worked for for a while. She was 103 I think when she died

[RebelinSteel]

A friend’s great grand fathers who is I think 103 now.

[antelope51]

A great-great aunt? I think? All I know was that she was 106 when she died.

[OlderAndWiser]

Probably my step-father's aunt. She was 98 years old when she died.

[douride2]

I had an uncle from fathers side of the family & an aunt on my moms side both lived to be close to 100.

[douride2]

You know what I forgot about a lady from the church I once went to she is going to be 103 sometime in 2024.

[Nurse_Meyers_88]

A guy who was a friend of the family lived to 104

[AlphaMale1]

My great grandmother lived to the age of 96 and was still in good spirits and health, for her age.
I was around 10 or 12 when she passed and yet I remember her more than most of those who passed after her.

[FunkyMonkee]

I guess my aunt Anna. She died about 3 weeks before her 100th b-day.

[Anonymous]

Guy in a nursing home. He was 90. He used to jerk off when we cleaned his room
