BRIEF: 114-year-old woman dies in Plainview nursing home

Dec. 22--PLAINVIEW -- Anna Stoehr's long, colorful life ended Sunday at Green Prairie Place in Plainview.

She had celebrated her 114th birthday in October.

Gerontology Research Group listed her as the 12th-oldest validated living supercentenarian in the world as of Aug. 12; it also states she was the sixth-oldest person in the United States.

Stoehr lived in her rural Plainview farmhouse until she was 112. She moved into Green Prairie Place where, even in the spring of 2013, she was outside pulling weeds.
