Edna Ruth Parker ( Scott)〔(Governor meets with country's two oldest, both Hoosiers )〕 (April 20, 1893 – November 26, 2008) was an American supercentenarian and, until her death, was recognized as the oldest person in the world following the death of Yone Minagawa of Japan on August 13, 2007.〔(World's oldest person, Yone Minagawa, dies at 114 ) – Japan News Review.〕 She assumed the title at age 114 years 115 days. Parker became Indiana's oldest living person on April 7, 2005 (age 111 years 352 days) (following the death of then almost-112-year-old Minnie Kearby, who was just 6 days older at the time) and the state's all-time recordholder on January 19, 2007 (age 113 years 274 days), surpassing Mary Parr. She became the oldest living American on February 14, 2007 (age 113 years 300 days), following the death of then fellow 113-year-old Corinne Dixon Taylor of Washington, D.C.〔(Validated Living Supercentenarians )〕 Parker was the 20th verified, undisputed supercentenarian to reach the age of 115. At the time of her death, Parker was listed as the 11th longest lived person ever.
