Ubuntu LTS has a 3 year life cycle overall for desktops, 5 year for servers.

Ubuntu and Fedora have a new release approx every 6 months but their
end of life is 18 months. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS and
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle#End_of_Life_.28EOL.29)

I personally would recommend Ubuntu LTS for family members. CentOS is
geared for technical people.
