Ella Miller was 106 or 107 in this 1988 photo taken at her church in Woodlawn (Enquirer file photo) | ZOOM |

        Ella Miller, a former Cincinnati resident who was either 118 or 119 when she died Tuesday at the home of a niece in Vienna, Va., may have been the world's oldest living person.

        It was unknown whether Mrs. Miller had a reliable birth document, and she did not have official designation by the Guinness Book of Records.

        Through the years, the Tennessee native listed her birth date as either Dec. 6, 1880 or Dec. 6, 1881.

        Mrs. Miller moved to Cincinnati as a teen-ager and lived in Wyoming until 1989, family members said.She died of congestive heart failure.

        On Nov. 2, the oldest living person who had authenticated birth records, Eva Morris, 114, died in a British nursing home.

        Well past her 100th birthday, Mrs. Miller, worked as a domestic, volunteered at the Valley Interfaith Food and Clothing Center, served on the Women's Committee at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Woodlawn and volunteered at the YMCA.

        Her husband, Isaac Miller, died in 1943. The couple had no children.

        Services will be 11:30 a.m. Monday at Thompson, Hall and Jordan Funeral Home, 11400 Winton Road, Forest Park. Visitation will be from 11 a.m., Monday, until time of service.
