There's a 3-year gap between the world's oldest person and the #2 now. her daughter is still alive at 93. Got me thinking, who are/were the oldest people with a living parent ? first one is Harland Fairweather, son of Violet Brown who died at 97 in April 2017, before his mother who was 117 and died 6 months after that. Then we have the son of Bettie Wilson, the daughter of Sarah Knauss and the one of Faustina Sarmiento Pupo who were all 96 when their mother died. We tend to forget (even more on this site) how awesome living to 110+ really is but taking in consideration that Violet Brown buried her own child of 97 puts everything into perspective and, in my opinion, reveal how incredible these age were ! Didn't find anything about the oldest person with a living grandparent though but could be interesting to search for if everyone cares 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 20, 2022 Figured I'd drop by after hearing the news about Ms. Tekla. As a Pole and as a long-time supercentenarian nerd, it was exciting to have a Polish woman finally climb so far up the ranks of the world's oldest people list. To clarify just how rare her feat was - no other verified Pole before her had reached the age of 112 (Stanisław Kowalski falling just nine days short of it earlier this year; although, if I'm not mistaken, he technically wasn't verified). Making it to 116 years and 2 months after surviving two world wars in a country heavily impacted by both, various regimes, and multiple pandemics is truly a remarkable feat. I'll admit I was rooting for her to outlive Lucile and get the #1 spot (something I didn't feel bad about it - Lucile herself has expressed that she would 'be better off in heaven'). However, I can't say I'm disappointed. When Tekla first became doyenne of Poland in 2017, I never would have expected her to live for five more years. May she rest in peace. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanzem 708 Posted August 21, 2022 RIP Tekla. She was a very big outlier for Poland. I thought that she would be WOLP. I can't believe that Lucile outlived both 1905 and 1906. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,589 Posted August 22, 2022 The UK’s oldest person, Ethel Caterham, turned 113 yesterday. The UK’s 2nd oldest person, Rose Eaton, turns 113 tomorrow. And the UK’s oldest man, John Tinniswood, turns 110 on Friday. Rose was still living independently a year ago, not sure about now. Ethel is in a home I believe. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
