She was the 23rd oldest known living person in the US, the 2nd oldest living person born in Virginia, the oldest living person in Maryland is now (correct me if I'm wrong) Dorothy Mimms born on July 5, 1913 (in Tennessee), and the 29th oldest living person in the US. Interestingly, she died at the same age as Ai Shinohara, whose death was discovered on the same day (JAP, 1913-2024), the 7th oldest validated person to die in Maryland history.
RIP
