Meta Dishman

Meta Dishman (née Holmes; born 1 June 1903) is an American supercentenarian who is currently pending. She was born in King & Queen County, Virigina, to parents Jack and Judy Holmes. She had 10 other siblings. A few years later, the family relocated to Washington D. C. She holds the distinction of being one of the first female taxi drivers in history in the capital. She was still capable of driving towards her late nonagenarian years. Meta also lived in several other states during her life, including Massachusetts. There, she worked as a department store employee as well as a school nurse in Boston. Interestingly for a woman now known for her extreme longevity, Meta also worked in the funeral business.

During the second world war, she worked as a correspondent for the State Department, providing messages that were beneficiary for the American war effort.

At some point between 1920 and 1930, she was married to a Mr. Lowe. She later divorced him and remarried in Washington D. C. on 7 October 1940, this time to Lynwood H. Dishman. In total, she had 2 children, of whom a son was adopted. In 1988, she moved back to her native state Viriginia, where she still lives today. Her son currently lives in Connecticut.
