Biography[]
Susana Gutierrez Godoy was born in Tepechitlan, Zacatecas state, Mexico, on 24 May 1910. She was born as the second child out of five children. Her mother Francisca Godoy Ortiz (1885–1916) died when she was just six years old, and her father Juan Gutierrez Correa (1887–1983) died at the age 95. Her aunt took over as the caretaker for Susana and her other siblings (as a mother role). She worked from a very young age for the same reason, since her father remarried when she was older, so her whole life was dedicated to selling food, menudo (traditional Mexican soup), and dinners in Tepechitlan City. She also loved to drink mezcal.
Gutierrez Godoy married for the first time at the age of 21 and became a widow. She married her first husband Jose Estrada Meza on 19 April 1932. He died over a year later on 5 December 1933. She then married a second time. Her second husband was Pedro Vazquez Parra, and they married on 8 June 1939. Susana was 29 years old at the time. She also had a daughter, who died at the age of three months. After her daughter’s death, she was not able to have any more children.
One of her brothers died at the age of 32 due to a heart attack, and one of her other brothers, Agustin, lived to the age of 92.
Gutierrez Godoy was very independent. She always cooked for herself until she was around 100. She once also had her own chickens as well.
Susana Gutierrez Godoy died in a nursing home in Tepechitlan, Zacatecas state, Mexico on 4 January 2024 at the age of 113 years, 225 days. She had lived at the nursing home since the age of 110. She had a good memory, but she hardly listened, and was a bit blind.

Her age was verified by Fabrizio Villatoro, Stefan Maglov, Emilio Ibanez and Nicolas Ruiz Moreno, and validated by the GRG on 23 March 2023.
She is currently the second oldest validated woman to reside in Mexico, after Sofia Mendoza Valencia.
