Mary Josephine Ray of Westmoreland, NH died this past sunday morning in her nursing home at 114 years. 294 days. She was certified as the oldest living person in the United States. Supposedly she was active until two weeks before her death, her granddaughter Katherine says "She just enjoyed life, she never thought of dying at all". "She was planning for her birthday party". Now that she's dead the oldest living person in the United States is now Neva Moris of Ames, Iowa who is 114 years, 216 days. The oldest person in the world is Japan's Kama Chinen at age 114, 301 days.
It's kind of odd because none of them are a year or more older..they are all within months or days of each other.
