I think the average lifespan at that time was mid-40's, so to live to 80 was remarkable.

yes it is....
WOW... 80yo was incredible back then. They must have thought she was a witch. :oP
That's indeed amazing, but how do they know ? there hasn't been a birth record at that time I think.
Amazing that she lived so long.
Living to 80 back then had to have been VERY unusual...

It is a marvel that the stone is till kept intact and has not been "recycled".
