Marie-Louise Pellet, a resident of Saint-Symphorien-d’Ozon in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, celebrated her 111th birthday on 7 March, according to Le Progrès.
Pellet was born in the commune of Saint-Julien-de-Jonzy in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France, on 7 March 1914. She was the youngest of six children. She grew up on a family farm.
Pellet worked as a teacher and went to Morocco in 1938 to teach at a French school in Rabat. A year later, when World War II began, she had to return to France where she became a private tutor for the children of the Count of Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux. In 1948, following her marriage to Joseph Pellet, she moved to Saint-Symphorien-d’Ozon. Her husband was the owner of a sawmill where she later managed accounts for many years. Together with her husband, she had four children—two sons and two daughters.
