Sorry to hear about her passing. There was just a feature in the Parade-Marilyn Vos Sant-about centenarians. There are more than I thought. Approx 50,000 at the time of the last census in 2000.
I just marvel at all the social and political, and cultural changes the 100+ person was able to see in their lifetime.
