Dorothy Gertrude Caldwell (nee Russell) January 6, 1918 – February 10, 2021.
Dorothy Caldwell didn’t mind an adventure.
In fact, the Hamilton great-grandmother loved it so much that she became a world record holder in her 90s after entering the
Guinness Book of Records as the oldest motor rally navigator.
Dorothy died in Hamilton on February 10, age of 103 years-old, still holding that record.
Dorothy’s rally car career began late in life in 2012 when she was 94-years-old.
