There is no set, hard span but I have read estimates that put maximum
human lifespan at around 120 years, which doesn't bode all too well for
the Frenchwoman, depending on how one views things. If I were a betting
man, I would bet against the woman getting to 125.
The max possible is barring other factors such as cancer, heart
disease, alzheimer's, congenital defects, etc.
Unfortunately for your father, disease got him rather than age-related
degeneration.
