Will my wife be eligible for Cobra coverage for 36 months or only 18 months?

After reading term of eligibility (18 moths or 36 months)I have a
question. I am 68 years still working full time for an employer having more
than 20 employees. I have health coverage thru my employer. I am eligible
for Medicare. (I am signed up for Medicare but do not use it as my health
insurance thru employer is primary). If I retire from working for my present
employer is this a "qualifying event that would entitle my wife to cobra eligibility for 36 months? I would then go on Medicare and my
wife should be covered under Cobra for 36 months or only 18 months? My wife is 62 1/2 years old and is signed up for Social security. Thank you.
