minus-squarealsu2launda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·3 days agoDamn. She was 66 years old 50 years ago.
minus-squareCephalotrocity@biglemmowski.winlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·3 days agoNot just that. Think of the shit she’s lived through born in 1908. WWII meant firebombings, literal fallout from nuclear attacks, post war recovery and things like industrial poisonings (ie: minimata bay disease)… that’s just off the top of my head.
minus-squarehalf_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 days agoYeah, and she was a full-fledged adult in her 30s onward to these things, not like a 4-year-old who wasn’t aware of what was going on around them.
minus-squareSkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 days agoShe was married for 50 years and was a widow for almost the same amount of time.
minus-squareHeyJoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoShe also had 4 children, and only 2 are still alive. Just says they had them in her 20s, so even those 2 kids have to be in their 80s now.
