The oldest Canadian, Ellen Gibb of North Bay, died Wednesday. She was 114.

Gibb shared a room at Cassellholme Home for the Aged with her 79-year-old daughter Susan Crozier. Up until spring 2018, the two had been living together independently in North Bay.

Last year, Cassellholme staff and Gibb’s family held a birthday party for her at the long-term care home where she received congratulations from dignitaries, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In a conversation with a Nugget reporter, she said she loved knitting, watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, and the taste of butter and cream.

Gibb, who was known as Dolly, was born on April 26, 1905, in Winnipeg. She lived there until the 1940s when she moved her family to Thunder Bay.

She was married for more than 40 years and had two daughters. Dolly is a grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother.

Crozier said her mother was an amazing cook and generous with her time and the food she made.

She said her mother would always have a hot meal for those who needed one.

“When the train would come by our house a few poor people would get off and sit on our steps in hopes mom would be home to provide them with something to eat. And she never disappointed them.”

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Martyn Funeral Home. Details are incomplete at this time.
