New Zealand's 'oldest' person, Madeline Anderson, has died aged 111
Madeline Anderson – who celebrated her birthday on May 4 and was considered by many to be the oldest living New Zealander – lived through some of history's darkest days and saw every aspect of her daily life transform dramatically.
She died on Thursday, surrounded by her family.
Anderson's Polish parents, Franciszka and August Orlowski, arrived in Port Chalmers, Dunedin in December 1872. Anderson, the eldest of four sisters, was born on the city's famous Baldwin St in 1907.
