I did (in my family). My great-great-grandmother (mother’s mother’s mother’s mother) died in 1978 (born in 1877), one great-grandmother died in 1984 (father’s mother’s mother born in 1893), the other-great grandmother in 1993 (mother’s mother’s mother born in 1896). I went home on leave from the Navy for each of their funerals.

My mother’s mother was born in 1913 and died in 2005, so she was an adult during the Great Depression. My mother is still alive and was born before WW2.

Hell with some of my second great grandparents I don’t even know when they were born. And with one of them, I don’t know who he was.
