My maternal grandmother passed away the day I arrived in NY at the age of 90; the funeral was today. She was a beautiful, intelligent, athletic woman who survived the German occupation of Czechoslovakia and escaped to the United States with her husband. She cooked and baked like a goddess and  loved intensely. Had she not had Alzheimer’s for the past 15-20 years, she probably would have lived over a century. She will be (and has been) greatly missed.
