The Scripture is silent as to the times of death for both His step-father Joseph and His mother, Mary. However, we can narrow it down a bit if curious.

The last Scripture to mention Joseph alive is at Jesus' 12th birthday visiting the Temple in Jerusalem. At the start of His ministry at 30 years of age, Joseph is no longer mentioned and is presumed dead. Mary however, is present at the crucifixion of her son, Jesus when He was about 36.5 years of age as some scholars have dated this event on Passover, 31 AD. Jesus just before He dies, gives a command to His Apostle to take care of His earthly mother Mary. We do not know how much longer she lived though some historians have placed her travels with the Apostle John several years/decades later.
