From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcella Humphrey (Brown Deer, Wisconsin, October 25, 1892 - Hastings, Michigan, November 21, 2004) was an American supercentenarian and one of Michigan's oldest residents ever when she died. Marcella was born in Wisconsin. After a while she moved to Michigan, and was a farm wife in Freeport. She and her late husband, George Humphrey, raised ten children. Marcella attributed her long life to a daily bowl of oatmeal and keeping her stress levels down. She died at the age of 112 at Thornapple Manor nursing home in Hastings. Nine of her ten children survived her.
