Should this lady be added?

Flora Wallin - of British Columbia - turned 110 yesterday:

Happy Birthday Mrs. Wallin

Clicking on the link only leads you to a post for her 107th birthday though, but the link on the oldest people in Canada wiki page leads to the one for her 110th, which was quoting the post from 2020 so that’s why it only led to the old post

@ale76 have you received any confirmation of Mariangiola Varrone celebrating her 109th birthday? (The only source for her I’ve seen before is the Italian longevity website so I thought you might be the one who would receive confirmation)

@mrcatlord Yes, she turned 109 (confirmed alive as of 13th October 2023).

Has Mr. Floyd been confirmed alive at 109?

Not that I know of

There was an annual “James C Floyd award” named after him given out last week

Canada has not been doing very well at producing SCs this year:

1910: 11 (1 alive)

1911: 11 (2 alive)

1912: 9 (3 alive)

1913: 3 (1 alive)

Although there are likely other living 1913 cases besides Flora Wallin it’s crazy that there’s only one known Canadian resident born in 1913 (plus one immigrant, Hazel Schultz)

Mrs. Brown died on 21 December, the day after I had discovered her

Rest in Peace Mrs Brown.

Sadly Mr Catlord, the people we follow have a habit of doing this occasionally.

My country has really not been doing well at producing supercentenarians recently. Only five people that we know of born in 1913 celebrated their birthdays, and two were not known of until they died; only two are currently alive. 1914 only has three known people remaining. Hopefully a few more show up this year

I think it's more so that your country isn't doing well at reporting its oldest residents while they're still alive.

Which is a sad trend we're witnessing in more and more countries.

Can someone try and find a date of birth for this woman? She was born in 1914 and died on 28 November 2023 at 109, so she may have been in the top ten

Irene Lantz (née Perpeluk) of Edmonton, Alberta, born on 2 March 1914; would replace Mrs. Varrone in tenth place, and if everyone survives another 39 days, there will be a 110+ top ten again (although there likely already is given that we know a lot of people go unreported). She is likely the oldest person in Alberta

With the death of Mabel Mah, does Mariangela Varrone return to the top ten?

Yeah I guess so

There's probably someone older though that hasn't been reported on

When Margaret Romans turns 112 (in two hours as of this post), there will be no 111-year-olds in the country

There is now a gap of 18 months between 4th and 5th place (Romans and Wallin) while the top four are born within six months of each other. So this is kind of concerning, although there will be four people at 112

Sadly, Canada's eleventh-oldest person Margaret MacPhee, who was the oldest known person in Nova Scotia, died on the same day as Linda Yale. Nova Scotia's new doyenne may be Lillian Sigut born in May 1915, whose sister lived to 108
