The GRG is saddened to report the death of Susana Gutierrez Godoy. Born May 24th 1910 in Mexico, Susana married twice. She married first at age 21 in 1932 but was widowed in 1933. She married again in 1939 at age 29. Susana had one child, a daughter, that sadly died at 3 months of age. She had no more children after this. Susana was very independent and active, still cooking for herself at age 100. She passed away in a care facility in Mexico, in the same town she was born in, on January 5th 2024, aged 113 years, 226 days. Susana was the oldest known living person in Mexico before her passing.
The GRG extends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Susana. An extraordinarily long life to draw comfort from.
Welcome to the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). As a global non-profit scientific organization, we are dedicated to validating ages, recording, and researching supercentenarians — people who are at least 110 years old. With a history spanning 33 years since our founding in 1990, our passion lies in studying and creating knowledge about human longevity, healthy aging, and the lives of the oldest people on earth.
However, our vital research comes with significant costs. Maintaining our website, conducting research, and traveling great distances to meet the supercentenarians crucial to our studies all require substantial funding.
If you are in a position to support our work financially, we would be immensely grateful for your contribution. Your donation, no matter how symbolic, will help us continue our mission to advance the understanding of human longevity and healthy aging.
Thank you for considering supporting the Gerontology Research Group. Together, we can make strides in the field of gerontology and uncover the secrets to a long and healthy life.
