The GRG announces today the age validation of Doris Wilhelmina Jane Noreen, nee Nygren. Doris was born September 15th 1913 in Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois, USA, to John and Mary Nygren. She had at least five siblings. In 1942, Doris married Carl Carroll Noreen and they went on to have two children together – daughters Sheryl and Beverly. Carl sadly passed away on December 16th 1948, after only six years of marriage. Doris’ parents came to live with her to help her manage after this. She did not remarry after his death. Doris still lives in Rockford, Illinois, at age 110 – seemingly having lived there her whole life.
Her age was verified by myself and Waclaw Jan Kroczek and validated by the GRG today – February 25th 2024.
