Who was Adelina Domingues?

Adelina Domingues was the World's Oldest Person from the May 28, 2002 death of fellow 114-year-old American woman Grace Clawson until her own death less than three months later. Domingues was only posthumously and retroactively recognized as the World's Oldest Person in 2012, since before that point the case of Kamato Hongo of Japan was considered to be valid by the Gerontology Research Group.
