…was born before television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods …

Television came to be in the 1920’s, the Federal Radio Commission adopted broadcasting rules in 1929.
Penicillin was in wide usage by the Allied military by 1942.
Polio shots came around in 1955.
The first quick-frozen vegetables, fruits, seafoods, and meat were sold to the public for the first time in 1930 in Springfield, Massachusetts, under the trade name Birds Eye Frosted Foods®.

Grandma has to be a lot older than 58.
