Two Supreme Court Justices who stayed in office until 90 were Oliver Wendell Holmes and John Paul Stevens.

But Senators? It appears to me that only Carl Hayden and Robert Byrd have the distinction of being Senators past their 90th birthday.

Strom Thurmond was senator until age 100, and Inouye would've been 92 at the end of his term, had he not died.

I shouldn't have said "only," but the reason I didn't mention Strom Thurmond is because OP mentioned him.
