Mae Harrington (January 20, 1889 – December 29, 2002) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest person in the history of the state of New York, breaking the record held since the 1920s by then world's oldest person Delina Filkins, also 113, but her own record was subsequently broken in 2005 by Grace Thaxton, who was born in the state before moving to and dying in Kentucky. Because her age was not authenticated during her lifetime, the public recognition she was due went to another 113-year-old, Mary Parr (January 29, 1889 – October 29, 2002), who was born nine days after her, dying two months before her, as her age was only validated posthumously. Harrington is listed as one of the 100 longest lived people ever. At her death, Harrington was the oldest living person in the Unit

  • Mae Harrington (January 20, 1889 – December 29, 2002) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest person in the history of the state of New York, breaking the record held since the 1920s by then world's oldest person Delina Filkins, also 113, but her own record was subsequently broken in 2005 by Grace Thaxton, who was born in the state before moving to and dying in Kentucky. Because her age was not authenticated during her lifetime, the public recognition she was due went to another 113-year-old, Mary Parr (January 29, 1889 – October 29, 2002), who was born nine days after her, dying two months before her, as her age was only validated posthumously. Harrington is listed as one of the 100 longest lived people ever. At her death, Harrington was the oldest living person in the United States, and may have been the oldest living person.
  • Mary Agnes "Mae" Harrington (née Maxwell) (20 January 1889—29 December 2002) held the title of world's oldest living person until her death aged 113 years, 343 days. In 2002 she also held the New York state longevity record but this record was broken by Grace Thaxton in 2005. Some records, including her 1900 census record and SSDI, suggest she was born in 1887. She was succeeded as the oldest living person by Yukichi Chuganji. Harrington spent most of her life in Clinton, Oneida County, New York, growing up on a dairy farm. She had three sisters and a brother. Her husband, George, worked for a local highway department and died in 1959. She only had one son, who fought at Guadalcanal in the Second World War and died in an airplane crash during the war. After her husband's death, Harrington lived alone in Clinton until she was 100, when she decided to enter the Heritage Health Care Center in Utica, New York. Harrington's closest living relatives were two nieces, Elizabeth Burns and Dorothy Maxwell. Burns described her as a very private person who suffered from vision and hearing problems in her later years. In her youth, Harrington had been fond of animals, dancing, and Dean Martin.
