I enjoyed some of the “The Cat Who…” books, by Lilian Jackson Braun. (Ie “The Cat Who Could Read Backwards”, “The Cat Who Played Brahms”, etc.) The MC is a guy in his late 40’s – late 50’s (throughout the series), so at this point I wouldn’t necessarily call him “an older person”, lol, but still perhaps older than the average MC? I think his character definitely came off as “older”. And he has cats. And it takes place in a small northern town. Cozy!

The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood has a group of women solving murders including Joyce, who very much fits what you are looking for.
This one is a bit outside the box, and not your traditional cozy mystery, but An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good and An Elderly Lady Must Not be Crossed by Helene Tursten introduces you to the character of Maud, a woman of a certain age who should not be triffled with.
Maybe not the coziest mystery, but Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn.
Mrs Plansky’s Revenge by Spencer Quinn is one that doesn’t center on a murder.
And my last suggestion is the Peg and Rose series by Laurien Berenson, which is a series with SILs teaming up to solve some murders.
