According to an article I read, she lived by herself on her husband's farm once he died in 1939, until she moved in with a relative when she was 100 :shock: :o
Also, coincidentally, she lived in the same nursing home Sandy Allen did - the world's tallest person (until her death in August).



I had the honor of her autographing a picture I sent her in March this year, something I will always keep - she will be missed :(

I wrote to her twice and never got an answer, so I'm really very sad, her being round for a bit longer, would have been great, but it's really is people like her who, are the real heroes in life

USA :) Indiana.
That's surprising! I thought she'd be from Europe or something, but it's good to see someone reppin the midwest live so long ;-)

Lived through THREE CENTURIES (19th, 20th, and 21st) Now i dont know about you, but this lady could have conerversations with me for hours if i ever had the chance to meet her, I love history. She grew up through so many events, Titantic, Great Depression, World Wars 1 and 2, and so so much more. Most have been amazing if we grew up in her shoes.

Absolutely, and she was with it, right up to the end, she would read the newspapers every day, read her mail everyday, which was loads of letters, she was still signing autographs, and could still walk a few steps...... all this at 115.

Frankly she never stopped, as every day they was so much for her to do....

What an amazing life.....we can only begin to think of her chats, with others..

BYE-BYE EDNA.....GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
