Marcelle Demorgny was born in Turgon, Charente department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, on 10 March 1913. She walked 3 kilometers to school and back every day in wooden shoes. She was awarded her certificat d’études primaires aged 12 and went on to work as a chambermaid in Charente and later Paris.
Demorgny married and had five children, all of whom she outlived between 2014 and 2017.
At the age of 108, Demorgny enjoyed going for walks with her friend Janine Rousseau. She would stay at Rousseau’s house for several nights every week and lived independently the rest of the time. She has an unreported number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her age was validated by the ESO on 15 May 2023. The validation was confirmed as valid by LongeviQuest on 10 March 2024.
On 10 June 2024, following the passing of 112-year-old Augusta Oteiza, she became the oldest living person in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
As of 6 July 2026, she currently lives in Champagne-Mouton, Charente, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, at the age of 113 years, 118 days.

The town of Champagne-Mouton, in the Charente department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, has only 855 inhabitants.
In Brazil, the town with the fewest inhabitants is Serra da Saudade, in Minas Gerais, with 856 inhabitants.
Brazil has only four municipalities with fewer than a thousand inhabitants; I see that this is very different from France, for example, which has over 25,000 communes with fewer than a thousand inhabitants.
Brazil has only 5,570 towns and cities, whereas France has 34,875, from what I’ve seen.
That is why there are so many towns with few inhabitants.
I see that this is generally the case across Europe.
It is a huge difference compared to Brazil.
