Anne Christopher

Anne Langston Christopher (March 4, 1895 – October 10, 2007) was an American supercentenarian who was, at age 112, the oldest validated person living in the state of Georgia, the seventh-oldest in the United States, as well as the 11th-oldest in the world with the September 20, 2007 death of Australia's oldest person, Myra Nicholson. Christopher was born in South Carolina, where she lived in Timmonsville and Pickens respectively, and only moved to Georgia in 2002 to live near her relatives. She claimed to remember the historical flight of the Wright brothers in 1903 and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Christopher had no secrets for her longevity other than to attribute it to God's mercy and eating and sleeping well. She died at a senior living center in Rome, Georgia, relinquishing her title of the state's oldest to then-112-year-old Beatrice Farve.
