Farewell to a Scrabble fan

Ruth Anderson has died at 112, the Marshall Independent reports this afternoon. She was the oldest person in Minnesota. She’s been profiled many times over the last few years, partly because of her love of Scrabble, the last game of which she reportedly played on Thursday.

According to the list of living supercentenarians, the oldest Minnesotan is now Anna Stoehr, who is just a little more than 111, and lives in Elgin.
