My dad was in auto body, then in his early fifties shifted slightly and moved into doing mechanical work and having that as his main business as opposed to a side gig. It helped we had a huge garage that he built as a shop to work in. One nice thing about that gig was that he just tapered off in his late 60's, as opposed to retiring on one set day.
My mom did clerking for an insurance office before I came around, but other than doing some farmer's taxes and the books for my dad's business she was a stay at home mom.
