Ms. Margaret Gatti of Texas, USA, sadly passed away on 14 February 2026, aged 112 years, 57 days.
She was born in Texas, USA, on 19 December 1913. She died on the same day as Santos Fierro (23 July 1913 - 14 February 2026), so it's unknown if she was either the second or oldest living person in the U.S. state of Texas at the time of her passing.
Rest in Peace Ms. Gatti.

R.I.P. Ms. Gatti.
When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Rest in peace, Signora Gatti.
