Cora Hansen, Canada's last surviving citizen born in the nineteenth century, has passed on at 113 years of age. Cora was born in the United States Of America on March 25, 1899 and lived until April 18, 2012. She moved to Canada literally 100 years ago in 1912!!
According to this article, http://m.ctv.ca/topstories/20120418/eldest-canadian-cora-hansen-dies-at-.html, Cora did not move into a care center until she was nearly a centenarian. The link also has a nice photograph from her 113th birthday. Farewell to a woman who lived in three different centuries! RIP.
