Who is the oldest person in your family/the oldest anyone has lived?

[homomo 23,841]

My great grandmother passed away exactly one month after turning 99.

It’s a shame she didn’t make it to triple digits, but she lived a very long life and was actually excited for her death (as she was anxious to finally experience what happens)

The oldest living person is my mother, she's 57. 

My father's grandma died when she was 95 and she was the oldest in my family's history.

An aunt. She was my mother's eldest sister. She married two times and was also twice a widow. She lost her second husband to alcohol in the sixties. And never had chidren. She was from the italian part of the family. Short, skinny with a strong voice and personnality. She was litterally like an ant on her own. The most beautiful garden of her village. Part flowers like a jungle and rows of patatoes, shalots, strawberries...

She was also my godmother. She shared a strong ressemblance with my late mother and I was really attached to her. So one day, she was around 60/70 I told her : When you'll feel the time has come you need some help, you know where to find me, just call me. Finaly one day, she was in her late eighties, and I got the call : Allo, it's you ? You have to come.

I began to visit her twice a week (half hour drive from my place). Took care of her affairs and set all the possible social and household care around her. She was 94 went she finally said : I want to go to the old peoples home. So she did and I was still visiting her once a week. She asked me to help with her last will. She was really keen on going when her time will come and she signed legal documents to avoid any type of prolonging life by technological means.

But from that moment on, she began to lose her mind a bit, time notion, sometimes even not recognizing me right away. But on each of her last birthdays, she was asking eagerly : Hundred ? And one day there it was. Hundred years. I catched her attention and told her : You did it, aunty !  I remember that sparkle in her eye...

The very next day I got a call from a nurse telling me she didn't want to leave her bed or eat anymore, spitting out food they tried to spoonfeed her... Again I said to leave her be as she legally wished. She curled in her bed like a baby and she passed away in her sleep jut one day later at hundred years and 2 days. Talk about a stubborn and remarkable person.

Somebody told me one day : It's what you've done for her. Just hope somebody will do the same for you one day ! I don't care. Things like that have to be done waiting nothing in return. (she left me some money though, not much cause she wasn't so rich, but it was a great help for me last year, during the confinement). She died in october 2019, right before this pandemic...
