I wonder if there is a lobster that survived her.

Lobsters are long-lived, they don't age (in the sense of slowly losing their fitness - senescence) and they only die when they grow too big and suffocate during moulting, or possibly catch some infection, or get killed by other animals/people.

A 105 y.o. lobster is plausible.

Early reports by European colonists in New England suggest some of the lobsters back then were far bigger than today.
