Unfortunately, Felicity Adair Crump - of Alderney, passed away on 13 April 2023 aged 110 years, 82 days. She was born on 21 January 1913 in Birmingham, England.
She was the first person in the Channel Islands to become a supercentenarian since Margaret Ann Neve in 1902, over 120 years prior to her own 110th birthday. Unlike Margaret Ann Neve however, she was not born in the Channel Islands, instead moving there in 1978. She moved to the island of Alderney, where her family had spent their summers since the 1930s, making Alderney one of the least-populated islands to have a supercentenarian residing there. She became very active in Alderney society after moving, and was co-author of a compilation of Alderney poems and author of a book about the Alderney cow.
Rest in peace.

I've also been able to find newspaper articles about a few demonstrations she took part in from the 1940s-1960s. She spent a week in prison in 1961 after being arrested for participating in a sit-down campaigning for nuclear disarmament.
