As Boromir stated, eomer reigned into his 90's. Looking at the tale of the years and counting back from when Eomer died (working out the differences from the shire calender) it works out he died at the fairly decent age of 93.
Not too old, but a fairly good innings. Whether this has anything to do with numenorian blood I'm not sure.
PS Unfortunately, I do not know the date of Eowyn's death. If she lived into her 90-100's, this could give us circumstantial evidence of some effect of their numenorian lineage.
PS It's amazing what you pick up on with lotr, no matter how many times you've read the books. It serves me right for not reading the appendices thoroughly, but I've only just found out that Aragorn, with the assistance of Eomer was still at war battling enemies "beyond the Sea of Rhun and on the far fields of the south" after Sauron was destroyed. I must have a proper read now.......
