Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your Oldest Living Relative?

At my age, I think I am the oldest living relative in my family.

How about some of you good folks?

Probably my father in law, Rick. My wive's family are all very long lived. Cathy's dad is in good shape. He's been retired from the National Guard for about 20 years, but this Lieutenant Colonel still looks pretty darned good in his dress uniform.

I’ll be 71 in June. I have 4 cousins older than I, none by more than 4 years. The old folks are all gone.

Thanks, I forgot a few cousins.

My mother is 101 and still going strong. I'm 70 and will be the oldest when she's gone.

Mom is 96. Have a sister in law just turned 95. And a cousin that is 90.

My aunt is 96 and still lives in her own house. My mom, her sister, died last year at 98. My other aunt also lived til 98. I'm a mere youngster of 59. My brother, 65, can still run half decently. What's interesting, is that they also have a couple of childhood friends in their mid 90s who are still alive. They all grew up in a very small SE Ohio coal mining town.

I am in my immediate family.

Both parents are dead. Both parents were also an only child, so I have no aunts, no uncles, and no 1st cousins.

That makes me the winner in this contest... LOL.


Wife's dad is 93 her mom is 92.

Dad is 92.

I’m the oldest at 65, all my relatives were smokers.

Mom is turning 90 this year.

My mom , she's 92 , the last of her generation. At 60 I am the last of my generation.

My Mom passed away in October. She was 100. She has three sisters that are all well over 90 and still going strong. At 67 I’m one of the younger ones in the family.

That would be me.

What else you wanna know smartass?

My wife's side seams to live the longest. Her grandfather lived to 105, he did good until the last two years of his life. He was still hunting at 100 years. His wife lived to 95. My wife's parents are still alive, her dad is 88 her mother 85.
My parents are both gone. Mom at 51 and my dad passed last year at 86. I don't have any aunts or uncles alive. I'm the middle child in our family, I have an older sister and a younger brother. I'll be 62 tomorrow.
Wishing you all a nice New Year.

I have an uncle who is in his 90's, and a few cousins older than me. But, in my immediate family, I'm it.

Great great aunt who’s 102. Her sister lived to be 98, as did her brother, my great grandad. Great grandmothers lived to be 90, 91, and 92, the other died in a house fire way back. My grandmother passed last Saturday at 82, still have the other three grandparents at 84,84, and 86 and all doing well.

Great Gramps said he started smoking at age 6, no filters for him ever and sometimes 3 packs a day. How he made it to 80 I don’t know, he may have went to 120 if he hadn’t smoked who knows.

I guess it would be Dad.

Grandmother died a while back at 104.

Sadly my sister who is one year older than me at 69.
My mother was orphaned during the depression (grew up in an orphanage) so who knows on that side and there may be some great great great something or others out there on my fathers side but I'm talking about those that I'm aware of.

Uncle Ron.. Mom`s side, 87.
