"Normal cholesterol" is such a funny thing. My grandfather and his brother both had high cholesterol. My grandfather was autistic about avoiding fat and anything high in cholesterol while his brother ate steak and eggs every day along with whatever else he wanted.
Both died in their 90's.
My grandmother died this year. She was 99. Always skinny as a rail, ate a good healthy diet, and had uber-high cholesterol according to her doctor(s). She was on cholesterol medication for almost as long as it was available. Never did a thing.
That's a good run
It was. Her body and mind were failing at the end, so it was time.
