Biography
Marie-Rose Henriette Augustine Bousseau was born on 21 May 1910 in Beaurepaire, in the Vendée département in what is now the Pays de la Loire region.[3]
Her father, Alexis Auguste Bousseau (1868–1935), was a farmer and her mother, Marie Ernestine Rose Durand (1876–1962), was a housewife. Her parents married in 1898.[3] Marie-Rose was the youngest of the couple's four children and the only girl. Her grandparents died before she was born.[4]
She married Auguste Charles Tessier (1904–1944) on 14 November 1927 in Ardelay. They had two daughters: Denise Marie Rose Augustine (1928–2020) and Yvette Louise Eugénie (1929–2010).
On 18 April 1944, aged 33, Marie-Rose became a widow after her husband was killed during the Second World War in Tergnier, Aisne.[4]
She lived in Fougères, then in Paris, before returning to her native Vendée when she retired.
Since 2010, she has been living in a nursing home (EHPAD) in Les Sables-d'Olonne.
She became the oldest woman in France following the death of Lucile Randon on 17 January 2023.[5]
