The GRG informs everyone of the age validation of Margaret Winnifred Cunningham, nee Whipple. Margaret was born June 23rd 1903 in Ashland, Saunders County, Nebraska, USA. She had at least one sibling – a sister named Helen. In 1925 Margaret married Ralph E Cunningham and they went on to have at least three children together. Ralph sadly died in 1984, after which Margaret did not remarry. She outlived all of her children and died in her own home in Shoreline, King County, Washington, on October 21st 2013, aged 110 years, 120 days.
Margaret’s age was verified by Tzen Wei Tseng, Jason King and Ilias Leivaditis. This was validated by the GRG with a retroactive date of January 20th 2017.
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!
