GREENVILLE, Ohio
The family of Ohio's oldest woman says she has died at age 110.
Steve Utz says Sylvia Booker Utz, his grandmother, died Monday at the Brethren Retirement Community in the western Ohio city of Greenville. Utz says he does not know what caused her death.
The Gerontology Research Group says Utz became the state's oldest person after 111-year-old Ethel Johnson of Upper Sandusky died in July.
Utz was born March 9, 1899. She married Harley Utz on June 15, 1918, before World War I ended. Their marriage lasted 83 years until his death in 2001 at age 103.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been set.
