She remarried to a taxi driver, Florentin Brémont, who died in 1967. She had no children. Over the course of her life, she worked as a farmer, a nanny, a seamstress, and in a pharmaceutical factory. At 103, she was hit by a car and broke her arm as a result. She died at a retirement home in Candé, Maine-et-Loire.Germaine Haye
Germaine Haye was France's oldest living person for about a year, following the death of Marie Brémont on 6 June 2001 until her own death at age 113 years 190 days. She was also the oldest living person in Europe and fourth oldest in the world.Haye lived in the town of Mortagne-au-Perche in Orne, Normandy, western France, since she was 19 years old. She worked as a babysitter and a teacher until her three daughters grew up and left home. She then devoted herself to literature, publishing poems under the pseudonym Anne Moranget. In 2000, after she fractured her femur, she was confined to a wheelchair, and went to live in the Mortagne-au-Perche retirement home for the final two years of her life. She died in her sleep.
Camille Loiseau
Camille Blanche Loiseau was the oldest living person in France until her death aged 114 years 180 days. Loiseau was ranked fifth-oldest in the world in the 2007 edition of Guinness World Records.
