Maria Gomes Valentim

Maria Gomes Valentim (July 9, 1896- June 21, 2011) was a Brazilian supercentenarian, and the world's oldest person from May 2011 to her death in June 21, 2011. She was the only verified supercentenarian from Brazil.

After Eugenie Blanchard died in November 2010, Maria, at the age of 114, became the world's oldest person. However, her claim wasn't verified until May 2011.
