Everything about Bertha Fry totally explained
Bertha Fry (
December 1,
1893 –
November 14,
2007) was an
American supercentenarian. She was 113 years old at her death, but less than three weeks from reaching 114, and lived in
Muncie, Indiana.
Fry was born in a farm in
Vevay, Indiana, while
Grover Cleveland was in his second (non-consecutive) term as
President. There has been remarkable
longevity in her family. Her mother lived to 90, and her father lived to be 95. Her first husband died in the
1930s, and she re-married during
the Second World War.
At the time of her death she was
the third-oldest living person in the world, although she was only the second-oldest in the state of
Indiana.
Edna Parker, who resides in
Shelbyville, Indiana, was older and, as of
August 13,
2007, the oldest living person in the world. At the age of 113, on
April 21,
2007, Fry met with Parker, at that time the second-oldest living person in the world, who had just turned 114 the day before. This set the highest combined age of two supercentenarians meeting at 227 years. Fry died at the Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, of
pneumonia.
She is
one of the 70 oldest people to have ever lived.
