Biography

Margaret Ethel Fish (née Willetts; 7 March 1899 – 12 March 2011) of Wilstead, Bedfordshire became the oldest person in the United Kingdom (at the age of 111 years, 225 days) following the death of 111-year-old Elsie Steele on 18 October 2010 until her own death on 12 March 2011, aged 112 years, 5 days.

Biography

She was born at Tower Hamlets and married Frank Fish, a World War I veteran, in 1928. Frank died in 1987 at the age of 89 of a heart and lung condition. Margaret was a dressmaker and lived independently at Cople until the age of 104. Later, she moved to live with her 71-year-old daughter Barbara for two years, and then she moved into Danecroft Nursing Home in Wilstead.

Fish enjoyed television and having a good meal. When asked about her recipe to a long life she said to "not worry about it"; that there is no secret.

She died in her nursing home on 12 March 2011, five days after her 112th birthday, since which time her health had declined.

Fish had two daughters, Barbara and Elsie; several grandchildren, and a great-grandchild.
