Hanzem 708 Posted January 1, 2022 Anyway I think she could be the 4th to prove it, as she still seems quite indestructible. Except if the second currently gravely ill is not Antonia Da Santa Cruz. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,041 Posted January 1, 2022 Lucille Randon is quite impressive ! She's a little bit overshadowed by Tanaka and that's understandable but I would be quite proud to see her as the "oldest woman alive" at some points, cause at her age, the fact that she's not is unbelievable ! I'd love to see a French take the title for a little while. She seems quite healthy and still active from the recent videos of her so I'd say she can easily reach her 118th birthday but not sure about her 119th, everything can happen at those ages… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can figure out what that means. End of a small era when it happens. I hope Tanaka makes it to 119, getting to the age Knauss was doesn't seem very likely. Oh! Me too I hope that this is not Randon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The validated top 10 currently, with health notes: Kane Tanaka, 119: Critically ill, has a permanent nasal cannula. Previous health issues include surviving parathypoid fever in the 1930s, pancreatic cancer in the 1940s and colorectal cancer in the 2000s. Lucile Randon, 117: Current condition unknown, has previously survived a mystery disease that killed her sister in 1905, heart attack and carotid artery surgery in 1995 at 91, covid in january 2021 at 116. Wheelchair-bound for around 9 years? Antonia da Santa Cruz, 116: Current condition unknown, looked frail and thin in mid-2021. DEAD Tekla Juniewicz, 115: Seems to have been bedbound on her 112th birthday, survived "serious illness" at 113. Not that frail-looking currently. Thelma Sutcliffe, 115: Looks frailish but reportedly in good health. DEAD Valentine Ligny, 115: Hospitalised shortly before her 110th due to a fall, suffered one in december 2020. Not seen in a while and I'm not sure if there's been a new picture of her anywhere in a year. DEAD Yoshi Otsunari, 115: Formerly known as Anonymous of Fukuoka. Condition unknown, seems like there aren't photos of her anywhere. DEAD Maria Branyas Morera, 114: Survived covid in april 2020, seems to be in great condition. Casilda Benegas, 114: Survived covid in december 2020. Frailish. Fusa Tatsumi, 114: In a wheelchair for over 13 years, ultrafrail for years, bedbound on her 114th birthday in april 2021. Would be suprised if she makes it to 115. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Watcher 313 Posted January 2, 2022 Ralph Kohler (104) & his wife Dorothy (103) have been married 86 years 108 days & may beat all records (Wiki & Guinness World) in less than 4 years time. They probably have the 4th longest marriage of all time as records show only 3 definitely longer with 3 other marriages just quoted as "86 years" as there is no exact date known for the start of these 3 other marriages. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However there are ones like Tatsumi, who looked like this in april: Is she even alive in this picture? Looking forward to the 115th birthday pictures if she makes it that far, impressive how some folks like this keep going 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still in better shape than some of the others people mentioned here though on the left on the second photo edit : other potential photo from her 115 birthday on October 2021, she wore the same dress so wouldn't be surprised if this is a recent picture but the source doesn't say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,886 Posted January 2, 2022 Kane's birthday party has been cancelled and it was scheduled until last week. The reason is the one you all know. They run out of coke.
