World's Oldest Person Dies at 116

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bolden, recognized as the world's oldest person, died Monday in a nursing home, the home's administrator said. She was 116.

Bolden was born Aug. 15, 1890, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a Los Angeles organization that tracks the ages of the world's oldest people.

Guinness World Records recognized Bolden as the oldest person in the world in August after the death of Maria Esther de Capovilla of Ecuador, who also was 116.

Bolden died at the Mid-South Health and Rehabilitation Center, a nursing home where she had been living for several years, said the center's administrator, Charlotte Pierce. Bolden suffered a stroke in 2004, and her family said she spoke little after that and slept much of the time.

Family members said this year that Bolden had 40 grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren, 150 great-great-grandchildren, 220 great-great-great grandchildren and 75 great-great-great-great grandchildren.

Fuck that, "World's Oldest Person" is one title I have no interest in attaining.  That's like having a giant bullseye on your ass with an hourglass.  Nooooo way.  I've seen the Great Outdoors!

It would be cool to be that old if u like started back over as a teenager after like 70

She was old for like over 65 years years......................... that would suck.

I bet she went 50 years or so without sex

Can u really get sad over someone that old dying?

Id probably stand up at the funeral and clap in amazement.

my husband's great aunty is 100, had her birthday in October and got her telegram from the Queen sent to her in Australia.  That was her Chinese Dem equiv - made her so happy.

She's still totally with it and mobile and doesnt have carers.  just coz she's old doesnt mean she's no longer a person with feelings and hopes and dreams.  She rocks!
