Ada Roe
Ada Roe, née Giddings (6 February 1858 – 11 January 1970)[1] was a British supercentenarian. She was born in Islington, England, and moved to Lowestoft, Suffolk over 60 years before her death with her husband, who died shortly afterwards.[2] Roe was the oldest recognised living person between 4 May 1969 and her death aged 111 years 339 days at Lowestoft, England.[3] She ran a dairy shop in Lowestoft for over 75 years, continuing to help at the age of 110.[4] She attributed her longevity to a good childhood.[2] She lived 12 days longer than Anglo-Irish Botanical artist and aristocrat Katherine Plunket, hence breaking the record for the oldest lived person in the United Kingdom, a record that the latter held for 38 years.
