1948 is actually roughly within the OG "baby boomer" group, since it represents babies born to WWII veterans when they returned home to their wives. WWII ended in September 1945.

And while there are variations on the years per generation, here's the breakdown per Wikipedia. The baby boomer generation runs from 1946 to 1964, X from 1965 to 1980, Millenials 1981 to 1996.

I misunderstood. I thought you were saying she was 48 years old, but she was born in 48.
