After Dr. Leila Daughtry Denmark’s burial in the Portal City cemetery Friday, friends and relatives gathered at Portal’s First Baptist church for a reception in memory of one of the oldest women in the world.The skies were steel gray as clouds sprinkled and a cold breeze blew, but those who gathered at the grave site remembered the bright sunshine Denmark brought to others throughout her 114 years in earth.Born February 1, 1898, Denmark died Sunday, April 1. She was the world's oldest practicing pediatrician until her retirement in May 2001 at the age of 103.Her daughter, Mary Denmark Hutcherson, 81, was the center of the reception for her mother Friday, greeting long-lost cousins, hugging friends, and talking about her mother.“From the very beginning, she was a very determined person,” she said. “She was always focused on the cause, not the symptoms.”Denmark believed children should not drink milk after a certain age, avoided sugar and advised drinking water and eating sensibly, Hutcherson said.Denmark was born in Portal, the third of 12 children born to Elerbee and Alice Cornelia Hendricks Daughtry, according to information recorded in Wikipedia files.
