Connection Combat - Supercentenarian Showdown - Delma Kollar vs. Susie Gibson

Question

Time for one last Halloween themed Connection Combat! This one isn't creepy or spooky, but both of these women were born on Halloween and lived some of the longest lives a person can live.

Meet Susie Gibson and Delma Kollar, two American supercentenarians. A supercentenarian is a person who lived to be 110 or older. Delma was 114 when she passed on, and at 115 Susie was the third oldest person in the world at the time of her death.

Who is going to get connected to the tree first? The rules are here, and post in this thread when you make a connection.

What a cool match up!

Great idea!

Answer 1

I have found a connection for Delma Kollar.

Delma's uncle John Lowman's daughter (Delma's first cousin) Hazel Lowman is 28 degrees from AJ. This would make Delma 31 degrees from AJ. I am awaiting a trusted list request to be approved to make the connection though.

Thanks for another fun connection combat!

Whoa! You're on fire, Ron! Thanks for connecting Delma.

Answer 2

I've started on Susie Potts Gibson, but I'm moving pretty slowly on this, as I've been fitting my research inbetween work and home responsibilities. I did learn that not only did Susie live a long life, but her mother did also, dying at the age of 102. No connection, yet, though.

I am in the same boat Pamela. I work full+ time and work on Wikitree with time I have off. I will give Delma Koller a try.
