Default Age Limit to Weightlifting?

I am interested in finding out how well people do, women in particular, who lift weights into older age. Especially people who were active in weightlifting (not competitive) throughout adulthood. Does strength/ability diminish dramatically, and when? Are there signs that tell you when you're reaching a point where you just are not going to be able to make any new personal lifting records? Does the risk of injury increase, and when? Is there a point at which one just can not lift weights anymore, and why?

And just out of curiousity, who is our oldest forum member who still lifts regularly? I would love to hear some experiences.
