Same here.
My great grandma lived to just under 100. My grandma is getting on for 85 and still going strong. It's those Kraut genes that keep them hanging on for dear life.

that is bloody old
my rota goes 'killed by a car' 'cancer from working as a radiation nurse pre-shielding' 'cancer generally' and one I can't remember. maternal granddad died before my mother was two, and her mother died when she was 18. My dad's parents were dead before he was fifteen in both cases

My paternal grandparents died many years ago but still at an old age.
My dad was the youngest so my granparents were pretty old when they had him.

obviously my family
is just death-prone. I've reached 21 without losing a parent, so I'm already doing better than either of my parents, relatives wise
