BATTLE CREEK A Michigan woman who was 114 years old has died.
Ellen Goodwill was considered to be Michigan s oldest resident, the Battle Creek Enquirer reported, citing the Gerontology Research Group, which keeps track of supercentenarians who reach 110.
Goodwill, who lived at Advantage Living Center in Battle Creek, died Tuesday, March 2 according to a friend, Sharon Miller. She celebrated a birthday on Feb. 2. She’s been a lady of grace, knowledge and has been a blessing to all,” Miller told the Enquirer. “Normally people don’t live past 100, and God had her here for a reason.”
Goodwill was born Ellen Lear in 1907 near Paris, Kentucky. She settled in Battle Creek where her husband, Augustus “Gus” Goodwill, was being treated for injuries from World War II.
The supercentenarian died on Tuesday, March 2, according to longtime friend Sharon Miller.
Goodwill was a resident of Advantage Living Center in Battle Creek and was Michigan s oldest resident and the third oldest person living in the United States, as verified by the Gerontology Research Group. She s been a lady of grace, knowledge, and has been a blessing to all, Miller said. Normally people don t live past 100, and God had her here for a reason.
Researchers estimate that one in every 8 million people in the U.S. live to become a supercentenarian. The current average life expectancy in the U.S. is 78.6 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The year Goodwill was born, the life expectancy of women in the U.S. was 49.9 years, according to the Berkeley Department of Demography.
