Julie Winnefred Bertrand (September 16, 1891 – January 18, 2007) was a Canadian supercentenarian who was the oldest living Canadian and the oldest verified living recognized woman[1] at the time of her death at age 115 years 124 days.[2] [3]
When she was a young woman, Bertrand was courted by future Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. However, she never married.
As of 2004, when she reached age 113, the supercentenarian was reported as being in fairly good health, dressing daily, had her hair done bi-weekly, and enjoyed a glass of wine on special occasions. Her memory was quite good, and she could recognize most of her friends and relatives. At that time she was reported living at her long-time residence in Montreal, Quebec.[4]
She became the oldest living woman and the second oldest living person, behind Emiliano Mercado del Toro,[1] on December 11, 2006, with the death of American Elizabeth Bolden.[5] [6]
