Sad news. RIP Rose Eaton. Now Mrs. Caterham is the last living British person born in the 1900s decade.
Interested in supercentenarians since 27 July 2018.
First supercentenarian I learned about: Kane Tanaka (1903-2022)
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace, Rose Eaton.
She certainly had a very interesting life - participating in Jaguar rallies and motor races across Europe well into her octogenarian years. A few photos of her with her 1959 Jaguar X150, which was her regular transport until giving up her license aged 99.
