The GRG announces today the validation of Loretta Olsen, nee Muller. Loretta was born at College Point, Queens, New York, USA, on September 6th 1902. She had three siblings – all brothers. On October 6th 1924, Loretta married Henry Olsen. They had at least one child, a daughter called Muriel. Loretta lost Henry in 1991. In 2001, Loretta moved in with her daughter. She passed away in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA, on September 25th 2012, aged 110 years, 19 days. Loretta had spent most of her life living in Connecticut.
Age verification was provided by Mark Muir, Ilias Leivaditis, Ricardo Pereira Lago and myself. The GRG formally validated this case on February 25th 2016.
The Gerontology Research Group (GRG) is a global non-profit dedicated to validating, recording, and researching supercentenarians — those aged 110 or older. Founded in 1990, we focus on human longevity, healthy aging, and studying the lives of the world’s oldest people.
Our work requires significant funding for research, travel, and maintaining our website. Any financial support would greatly aid our mission to advance the understanding of human longevity.
If you wish to support our research financially, please donate to our efforts, but only if you can afford it. We would greatly appreciate even a symbolic support. Thank you!
