Re: Another Lost one
There's an old American church song called Grandma's Rocking Chair. A possibility.
The original doesn't have the line about died at 93, but some old songs get modified over the years.

I hope this is the original one Bob I think it was sung by Tex Ritter late 40s or early 50
GRANDMA'S ROCKING CHAIR
by: Joey Hemphill
1. I went to live with Grandma when I was just a kid
And if someone ever needed someone, I'm someone who did.
She loved Grandpa and Jesus with plenty love to share
And she told me all about it in her big old rocking chair.
CHORUS:
I learned about Jesus in my Grandma's rocking chair,
And sometimes when I'm troubled, I wish that I were there.
Oh, when she sang of His sweet love, I didn't have a care.
I learned about Jesus in my Grandma's rocking chair.
Tag: Yes, I learned about Jesus in my Grandma's rocking chair.
2. I used to love to hear her hum as she went through the day,
And each night at bedtime, I loved to hear her pray.
She taught me about heaven waiting way up there,
And I first felt that feelin' in my Grandma's rocking chair.
