Through their unique take on social media trends, Retirement House has become a beloved platform for breaking stereotypes about aging while inspiring others to embrace life fully. Their growing popularity reflects the universal appeal of joy and humor across generations.

In a 2022 interview with The New York Times, Grey, an accomplished actress with numerous credits, shared her gratitude for the close friendships she built within the unexpected group. She reflected on how their bond brought joy and connection during a time when many seniors were grappling with isolation, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic.

“You see so many stories of older people that are not happy, because as you get older, you lose friends, you lose relatives, you don’t have people to share your life with,” she told The New York Times. “We’re actually building shared memories together — and it’s on videotape.”

Rest In Peace.
