Clinton tweeted about Ruline on Friday.

"At 103, Ruline Steininger had an energy & vibrancy all should aspire to. My thoughts & prayers are w/ her family," she wrote.

Steininger was born in 1913, before women had the right to vote, and was keen on seeing America elect our first woman President. The centenarian was understandably upset about Clinton's loss.

"We made a lot of progress and it looked like we were going to make a lot more, and now we're not," she told CNN on election eve. "And that's going to make a big difference in our country."

"It won't bother me, I'm going to die," she added. "But I've got children and grandchildren that are going to be affected by President Trump."
