About Audrey Stubbart

Lived 1895 – 2000 (aged 105). Audrey Stubbart was an American columnist.

Audrey Stubbart (June 9, 1895 - November 13, 2000 ) was an American proofreader and newspaper columnist for The Independence Examiner until the age of 105. Prior to her death she was the oldest verified newspaper columnist, the oldest known full-time employee, and possibly the oldest user of the Internet.

Early life Stubbart was born Audrey Morford in Newman Grove, Nebraska. She was the second of five siblings, but with the death of her eldest sibling shortly after birth, Audrey became the oldest. Audrey worked for 18 years with Herald House until her retirement in 1961.

Age and death At 88 she visited the Holy Land and rode a camel in Egypt. At 94 she toured England and Scotland. In 1992 at 97 she was Missouri's Older Worker of the Year, chosen as a role model who greatly contributed to her community. As she approached her 101st birthday, she had no plans to retire; her daughter Enid and son-in-law Joe celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary a few days before her 101st birthday. She sang in the choir until she was 102. In May 2000 at 104 she fell at her home. A month later she went directly from the hospital to the Examiner celebration for her 105th birthday. She retired in August. Stubbart died on November 13, 2000, three months after her retirement as proofreader. She was well over 105 years old at that time.
