My paternal grandparents have both passed away, but my mother always referred to them as "Mr and Mrs LN;" I believe my father does that now with my grandparents--even though they've known each other for 40 years!
It seems terribly formal!
I wasn't raised to call another adult "Miss FN," even though my parents were born and raised in the South, of Southern parents. I think my parents felt it sounded a little servanty (for lack of a better word), we just said "Mr or Mrs. LN." My niece and her friends call their friends' parents Miss FN, and it seems to work for them. It's informal without being disrespectful.
