| abstract | - Eugenie [Eugénie] Blanchard (16 February 1896 – 4 November 2010) was a French-Saint Barthélemy supercentenarian, who, at the age of 114 years, 261 days, was the oldest living person at the time of her death. Anne Eugenie Blanchard became the recognised titleholder upon the death of Japanese supercentenarian Kama Chinen on 2 May 2010. At the time of her death, Blanchard was the 31st oldest person ever verified, the 3rd oldest verified French person ever and the oldest verified person ever from the island of Saint Barthelemy (administratively and legally a part of Guadeloupe from 1878 until 2007), which is an overseas collectivity of France. She is currently, behind Jeanne Calment, Marie Bremont, and Eudoxie Baboul, the fourth-oldest French person ever.
