Neva Morris, of Ames, is a Supercentenarian, and the only one in Iowa. The Gerontology Research Group (GRG) came up with this term to mean anyone validated to be 110 years old or older. Neva is listed as the 9th oldest person on Wikipedia's list of living supercentenarians. In first place (as of August 2007) is a 115-year old Indiana woman.

Neva celebrated her 110th birthday three years ago at an open reception at Northcrest Community.
