Any centenarians in your family?

Wow they are amazing women. I love when centenarians offer advice for living so long, and it's always off-the-wall like, "eat dessert every day."

I had one centenarian in my family who lived to be 101. She stayed at home with her (unmarried) daughter until her death. Many old people in my family have lived to their 80s and 90s and have been in relatively good health until near the end of their lives.

A couple of them also credit a good night's sleep.

I have an aunt (by marriage) who died this year at 102 years old.

My mother in law was 91 last January. She is a bit frail physically and has a few memory lapses but is doing well overall, living with her daughter and son-in-law.
