You've given me death reports for three people on my list in the last couple days and they are all from my province... 

I assume you have been looking for sources on some of the limbo cases - have you found any alive confirmation or death reports for other people that have not been confirmed alive in a while?

It is also possible to find anything else on this woman born c. 15 April 1912? She is one of the oldest people to get a transcatheter aortic valve implantation and was confirmed to have celebrated her 108th birthday. I also wonder what happened to Nicholas Mascitelli (who would now be 113)

@mrcatlord no alive confirmations yet but I will let you know if I do. I didn't check too many of the limbo cases, just was interested in the oldest ones. 

Nothing yet on Olga but I can't check Facebook right now without my computer.

- Dutch-born Ann Konkel turned 109 in Hamilton, Ontario (died in September 2024)

- Harry Arpen of Windsor, Ontario turned 106 (died in November 2024)

- Chinese-born Ontario resident Chiung Hi Chou died shortly after 109th birthday

It turns out the third-oldest known person in Alberta was actually Anna Ruzycki, who died 11 days after

- Gerald Trumble of Ontario, who was previously unknown publicly, passed away at 106

- Anna Ruzycki (107) and Lena Zavisha (106) of Alberta both passed away

- Ted Price, the third-oldest man in Canada and oldest man born in the country, turned 108 in Ontario

- Hazel Skuce, Canada's oldest living person, reached 112.5

September 2024 Report:

Not a whole lot happened apart from the birthday of a newly discovered SC, and the validation of another new living case

- Annie Dobush of Manitoba, a previously unknown case, turned 110

- Ann Konkel of Ontario (born in the Netherlands) passed away at 109; had received birthday coverage every year since 2020

- Harriet Everett (Ontario) turned 107, Madeline Poitras (Saskatchewan) turned 106

- Margaret Romans reached 112.5; first time the top two have both been this age since January 2023

- A few more 107-year-old deaths occurred

I discovered yesterday that a 106-year-old who was on this list who just passed away (Christine Schnieder) was the sister of another person on this list (Pauline Nodwell, born exactly 10 years after Okagi Hayashi). They also have a 103-year-old sister who I believe is named Nell Richards and their father lived to almost 97

(Nodwell and her sister Nell Richards both passed away shortly after)

@mrcatlord Still haven't been able to find anything on her, just a photo from 2018. Found a few records for her family members (husband died in 2002, daughter died in 1981), and some mentions of her in 2020 from family members online, but nothing further.

October 2024 Report:

- Mary Katz, Quebec's 3rd oldest resident and Canada's oldest known Jewish resident, died at 109

- Lucile Mathieu of Quebec also passed away at 109

- Clarence Soward, Nova Scotia's second-oldest known man, died at 106

- Flora Wallin was found have to died sometime in the past year and died not reach 110

Pauline Nodwell and Nell Richards both passed away a week apart in October, sadly. They are survived by four younger siblings

I may stop following SCs soon (for personal reasons regarding my mental health and wellbeing) so I will probably screenshot the list and have the photos replace the actual original post just so that names from an outdated list don't come up in search results

Victoria Compton, of Newfoundland and Labrador, celebrated her 108th birthday on 16 May 2025 (source).
