Hatsue Ono [Japanese: 小野ハツエ] was a Japanese supercentenarian whose age is validated by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). Hatsue Ono is the longevity recordholder of Hokkaido Prefecture.
Hatsue Ono was born in Iwate Prefecture on October 31, 1898.
In 1926 she moved to Abashiri, Hokkaido with her husband Shichizo, and from 1930 onwards she lived in Hamakoshimizu. The couple ran a farm, and they were blessed with three sons and three daughters.
Even after her husband’s death in 1965, she continued to thrive on cattle feeding and dairy farming until she could no longer walk in 2007 at the age of 109. No matter how busy she was with her farm work, it was her pleasure to grow flowers all over her garden.
She had many foods she didn’t like, so her daughter fervently prepared her favorite foods for her to eat. Until she was about 80, she liked meat, but after that she liked fish, and her favorite foods were coffee, rice cakes, and dumplings.
She died on October 17, 2012 in Hokkaido, Japan at the age of 113 years and 352 days. She ate her favorite foods such as bread and dumplings until a few days before her death and died of natural causes at her home.
