She was born when Queen Victoria was still on the throne, she was a teenager during the First World War and a senior citizen when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
Cora Hansen, considered Canada's oldest person, died Wednesday at the age of 113 in a Medicine Hat, Alta., nursing home, Postmedia News reported.
"When you consider the things that happened in the course of her life, quite literally, it went from horse and buggy to space travel," Hansen's grandson Jim MacArthur told the Calgary Herald.
