Biography
Stevenson was born in Picadilly, England.

She stated on her 108th birthday that she "doesn't believe in medicine or television". She became the oldest person in the UK following the death of Ada Roe on January 11, 1970.

Stevenson was the first documented person from the United Kingdom to reach the age of 112. At the time of her 112th birthday, she resided at the Brambleacres home for senior citizens, in Sutton, England. Stevenson's record as the oldest British person ever lasted until 1985, when her age was surpassed by Anna Eliza Williams.
