An Australian woman described as the world’s oldest Internet blogger has died at age 108 after posting a final message about singing “a happy song” in her nursing home.
Olive Riley “passed away peacefully on July 12 and will be mourned by thousands of Internet friends and hundreds of descendents and other relatives,” a note on her website said.
Riley had posted more than 70 entries on her blog from Woy Woy on the east coast since February 2007, sharing her thoughts on modern life and her experiences living through the 20th century.
Born in the Outback town of Broken Hill on October 20, 1899, she lived through two World Wars and raised three children, while doing various jobs, including ranch cook and barmaid – AFP.
