Szabaka 90 Posted July 3 Lost one that could have made the list, giving her an honorable mention at 106 Dorothy Carpano Obituary Obituary published on Legacy.com by Tasker Funeral Home - Dover on Jul. 2, 2024. Dover – Dorothy Carpano, 106, of Dover, New Hampshire passed away peacefully on Friday, June 28 at Bellamy Fields surrounded by her loving family. She was born February 5, 1918, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to Arthur and Martha (Clough) Joy. Dorothy certainly had a zest life. She was always upbeat and no matter the location she and her husband of over 77 years, Vincent and two children called home, she made life-long friends and connections that lasted through her long and glorious life. An avid reader, bridge player and conversationalist, Dorothy spent her life making a good home for her family. She is predeceased by her husband of over 77 years, Vincent Carpano; siblings Lawrence Joy, Vilda Reikert, Roscoe Joy, Gladys Caswell, Roland Joy, Alden Joy and Robert Joy. Survivors include son Guy Carpano and his wife Lynn of Dover, Nancy Sugarman of California; grandchildren Susan Livingston and Brett Lovejoy. Many nieces and nephews, too many to name, but Dorothy will be missed by all that knew her and loved her. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trome 116 Posted July 16 On 23/11/2022 at 21:04, arghton said: How many people there are left born before 1910? Top 10: 1. Lucile Randon (1904-2023) 2. Maria Branyas Morera (1907) 3. Fusa Tatsumi (1907-2023) Very frail. 4. Bessie Hendricks (1907-2022) 5. Edie Ceccarelli (1908-2024) Dementia sufferer seemingly in fast health decline. 6. Kahoru Furuya (1908-2022) Oldest person ever with a pacemaker, as far as I know the first person with a pacemaker to live to 114. 7. Tomiko Itooka (1908) Survived a stroke and a brain surgery at around 110, medical miracle. 8. Inah Canabarro Lucas (1908) Picture of health a year ago, but as far as I know has been in and out of hospital recently. Still doesn't look frail however. 9. Hazel Plummer (1908-2023) Extremely frail. 10. Kimiko Ono (1908-2022) ... 11. Yasue Okai (1908-2023) 114 in a few days. Seems very frail. 12. Hide Hamabe (1908-2023) 13. Nina Willis (1909-2023) Was already in very frail condition in January 2021. 14. Shinobu Hayashi (1909-2023) Sumo wrestling fan, often wears a large hat. 15. Annabelle Holblinger (1909-2023) 16. Shige Mineshiba (1909-2023) Canada's oldest suffering from dementia for over a decade. Heart attack survivor. 17. Juan Vicente Perez Mora (1909-2024) Oldest man 18. Elizabeth Francis (1909) 19. Ethel Caterham (1909) Last subject of Edward VII. 20. Okagi Hayashi (1909) Looks amazing for 113. 21. Josephina Maria da Conceicao (1909-2023) Frail and possibly a dementia sufferer. Could be one of those cases that turn out to be fake. 22. Juliette Bilde (1909-2022) Second-oldest French person. Frail with swollen legs. 23. Shina Seki (1909-2023) 24. Pearl Berg (1909-2024) On oxygen in 2019 or 2020, looked great this year. Claims to be born 1910 instead of 1909. 25. Tane Matsubara (1909-2024) Very frail. 26. Maki Hirabayashi (1909-2023) Not seen in 8 years. 27. Maria Aulenbacher (1909-2023) 28. Masa Matsumoto (1909-) 29. Charlotte Kretschmann (1909) 30. Concepcion Alarcon Vega (1909-limbo, 2021) Frail at 109, is she still alive? Matsu Gaja (1908-2022, would possibly be the fifth or sixth-oldest person) and Kimi Kawasaki (1909-2022, would be the 16th-oldest) are probably still alive but didn't include them as apparently nearly nothing is known about them by gerontology groups. There are a few fraudsters who I've dropped due to the fact that they're now considered fraudsters by Gerontology Wikia and half of them have probably already died in limbo and fraudster Wang Zhanwen, who seems old but isn't 115.
