Why did Mrs Watts say Ludie would be gone??

She lists all the things that won't survive the next 20 years, and she names Ludie. But Ludie is easily only about 40 or so. Did people in the 1940s really die on average at age 60?!
Mrs. Watts didn't.

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Wow, then Mrs.Watts was younger than she looked. Or just one of the lucky ones.

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it!
