I remembered reading in Glenn’s autobiography a number of years ago that Annie was actually a little more than a year older than he. Already over three years now since he passed.

He was the last surviving Mercury astronaut, but not sure how many other Mercury wives survive besides Annie.

Addendum: Ok, looks like Carpenter’s first wife, Rene, still survives at age 91. And Cooper’s second wife still survives, but I could not find an age for her.
