She has never married in her lifetime; her only fiancé, Albert Rees, was killed in World War 1. She is one of the only 14 British people to reach the age of 113. She died less than a month before her 114th birthday in 2013. After she died, Ethel Lang (27 May 1900-15 January 2015) was the new oldest living UK resident.
