Fiona Kilbane, from Somerset, said her great-grandmother Mary Roberts was a "determined" woman.
She was the head stewardess on the Titanic when it sank in 1912.
Two years' later she was saved by the RNLI when working as a nurse on the Rohilla, which sank off the coast of Whitby in North Yorkshire.
Hayley Whiting, RNLI heritage and archive manager said: "We can never really decided if Mary Roberts is really lucky or unlucky, it depends on how you want to look at her."

The school where pupils were injured in a crush after staff did not unlock a gate has said it is "deeply sorry".
Gordano School in Portishead, near Bristol, said the gate was not open in time at the end of the school day on Monday due to "human error".
The incident was first reported by the BBC after videos were shared on social media.
A spokesperson for the Health and Safety Executive said it was making enquiries.
The executive said it wanted to "to ensure the school has taken action".
North Somerset Council said: "We have been in close contact with the school following Monday's incident and are confident they are taking the matter seriously and conducting a thorough investigation into what happened while also putting measures in place to ensure it can't happen again."
Writing to parents and carers in a letter dated 27 March, the school's head teacher Louise Blundell said students were being shown where to get support.
She said "things clearly went wrong" and an investigation had begun.
Nobel prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman has died, aged 90.
He became synonymous with behavioural economics, even though he never took a course of economics.
Kahneman wrote the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow. It debunked the notion that people are rational beings who act out of self-interest - they act based on instinct, he argued.
His death was announced by Princeton University where he had been working since 1993.
"Danny was a giant in the field, a Princeton star, a brilliant man, and a great colleague and friend," said prof Eldar Shafir.
"Many areas in the social sciences simply have not been the same since he arrived on the scene. He will be greatly missed."
Kahneman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1934, and spent much of his early years in Nazi-occupied France, where his father worked as chief of research in a chemicals factory.
The family moved to what was then British-ruled Palestine in 1948, just before the creation of the state of Israel.
Kahneman graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1954, and went to the US four years later to begin a doctorate in psychology at the University of California Berkeley.
Kahneman returned to Jerusalem in 1961 to begin his academic career as a psychology lecturer, where he met Amos Tversky - a cognitive psychologist with whom he would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 2002.
His work with Tversky would go on to form the basis of the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow, published in 2011.
The book explained the psychology of decision-making. It outlines two systems that drive the way humans think and make choices - the fast, intuitive, and emotional - and the slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
The book argued that most of the time, our fast, intuitive mind is in control, and takes charge of the decisions we make each day - rather than the deliberative, logical part of our minds - and this is where mistakes can creep in.

Were You There When They Crucified My Lord (Good Friday hymn)

The only Arsenal player to score in five consecutive matches or more in their debut season in the Premier League? Thierry Henry.
Kai Havertz has the chance to match the record on Sunday if he can score at the Etihad.
The German has scored in his last four appearances in the Premier League against Burnley, Sheffield United, Newcastle United and Brentford.
THE PRINCIPLE WHY FLIGHT ATTENDANTS SIT ON THEIR HANDS DURING TAKE OFF AND LANDING
For those who might find it unusual, yes there are reasons why flight attendants it on their hands during take off and landing. This is really taught during their training, and its for safety reasons.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino says his side "should be in fourth position" according to "all the data".
Mauricio Pochettino's claim that Chelsea "should be in fourth position" in the Premier League looked increasingly questionable after a "disappointing" 2-2 draw with 10-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues led twice thanks to goals from Cole Palmer but failed to secure three points against a Clarets side who were a man down for the entirety of the second half following a red card for Lorenz Assignon.
The outcome led to boos from home fans at the final whistle.
"It is a result that shows that we need to improve in many areas if we want to be competitive," Pochettino told BBC Match of the Day.
"So disappointed. We didn't show the consistency and the capacity to deal with and manage the game. We were not aggressive enough in open play and defending set-pieces. We need to improve like a team and be more competitive.
"The team is a little nervous when winning 1-0. It is not only about to work, it is about to evolve and develop some areas in our team to deal better with this type of situation."
Ezri Konsa completed the "perfect week" by scoring in the win over Wolves that helped Aston Villa maintain a three-point lead over Tottenham in the race for Champions League football.
After Spurs beat Luton earlier on Saturday to briefly go above Villa, Unai Emery's side rose to the pressure and found a way to win despite being far from their best.
Moussa Diaby's thunderbolt shot from the edge of the area, after a cross was half-cleared by Tommy Doyle, fizzed through a couple of Wolves defenders and goalkeeper Jose Sa to open the scoring.
Defender Konsa sealed the points at Villa Park when his slightly miscued cross from close to the right byeline drifted over Sa and in off the far post.
The 26-year-old made his England debut as a substitute seven days previously and then had his first senior international start on Tuesday, hoping to secure a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024 in Germany.
