Template:InfoboxDelma Dorothie Kollar (b. October 31, 1897–d. January 24, 2012) was an American supercentenarian and one of the oldest 100 verified people ever. On her last birthday, she became one of only 88 people to have attained the age of 114. Before recent research, she was thought to have been born in 1898. However, from the data in the census closest to her date of birth, and due to the fact that her younger sister was born in February 1899, this was proved to have been wrong. At the time of her death she was the fourth oldest living person in the world, the recordholder for the oldest person born in Kansas and one of the last four people born in 1897.
