Bernice Madigan was a member of an exclusive club, the supercentenarians: people who
has lived to or passed their 110th birthday. This age is achieved by about
one in 1,000 centenarians. It is
believed that supercentenarians live a life typically free of major age-related
diseases until shortly before maximum human lifespan is reached between 110 and
115 years.
