Virginia Lugenia McLaurin[1] (née Campbell, March 12, 1909[a] – November 14, 2022) was an American community volunteer, seamstress, manager of a laundry, farm worker, and a semi-supercentarian or a supercentenarian, since her birth certificate was not located (or her official birthdate not recorded) and she is believed to have been born between 1909 and 1917.

[1] Being born under the Jim Crow Laws, such a fact is not unusual, as the public records at the time for Black and Native Americans were sometimes missing or inaccurate.

[6][7][8] A resident of Washington, D.C., she gained notability after a video of her dancing with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House went viral, where she attended to receive the President's Volunteer Service Award for her service to the community on February 18, 2016, during a reception held for annual Black History Month, and also for her longevity claim, which although reported extensively by the media press remained unsourced by government and official records.

McLaurin was born to a Black family of sharecroppers in Cheraw, South Carolina; her father John Oliver Campbell died when she was one and her mother Flora Ella McQueen taught her to sew.

[12] In her career, she worked as a seamstress,[9] as a domestic helper for families in Silver Spring, Maryland, and managed a laundry shop.

[4] In 2016, McLaurin had trouble obtaining a replacement photo ID from the Washington, D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles because of bureaucratic difficulties in getting a copy of her birth certificate from South Carolina.
