Born less than a year apart well
over a century ago, Marie Louise
Febronie Meilleur and
Felicie Young Cormier were
even closer in death. Both held the
title of oldest person in the world
Mrs. Cormier, who had no official
birth certificate but traced
her age through family records,
died Wednesday in the rural
Cajun community of Crowley,
La., at 118. Mrs. Cormier and her late
husband had 13 children. A son
and daughter were the only
survivors listed by the funeral
home.
“I live a good life,” she said in
an interview on her 117th birthday.
“I made a promise to my
husband, and he made one to
me not to marry no more. He
died first and I’ve held that
promise.”
While Mrs. Meilleur cited hard
work as a factor in her longevity,
Mrs. Cormier noted that she
always began her day early,
around 5 a.m.
“I rest and sleep all night,” she
said. “I don’t sleep in the daytime
at all.”
