My maternal grandmother died today.

Kathleen Langley (1918? - 2010), from the Dogpatch side of my family. She stayed mentally competent until the end, according to mom, and died from pneumonia. She probably had fluid in her lungs because of heart failure and kidney failure.

She lived in the same nursing home in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, where my father, age 83, currently lives.

So I have the following data points about my grandparents' lifespans:

Hugh Potts, SSN# 446-32-2990. 1895 - 1974, age 78.

Mozelle Bibb (married to Hugh Potts, then divorced him and remarried), SSN# 445-18-8950. 1907 - 1998, age 90.

Ervin Langley (Kathleen's husband), SSN# 508-10-3521. 1907 - 2001, age 93.

I seem to have a pattern in my family where the men marry younger women.
