Maude Farris-Luse (née Davis; January 21, 1887 – March 18, 2002), later known as Maud Luse, was an American supercentenarian who was recognized as the oldest living person in the world from June 2001 until her death nine months later, at age 115 years, 25 days. She was initially thought to have been born in January 1887 until subsequent research from LongeviQuest. She outlived two husbands and six of her seven children. At the time of her death, she was the oldest person ever from Michigan, having surpassed the age of Mary Kelly (1851–1964), a record she held until Jeralean Talley surpassed it in 2014.
