Mildred Giesbrecht, a resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, celebrated her 110th birthday on 8 May, according to the Winnipeg Free Press.
Mildred Giesbrecht was born in Gretna, Manitoba, Canada, on 8 May 1916. As a teenager, she and her friends would hike to a bluff overlooking the American border, where they enjoyed picnics in the sunshine.
On 6 August 1939, at 23, she married Philip P. Giesbrecht (1912–1949) in Gretna. The couple shared many happy years together before welcoming their first child, Enid, followed a few years later by their son, Greg. In 1949, tragedy struck when Philip died suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage while on a trip to a nearby town. Although she was still young, Mildred never remarried.
She is currently the oldest known living person in Manitoba.
