DoorSlammer 561 Posted January 17, 2023 Damn, I hoped she would make 119. It was a nice little fact that everyone before her who made it to 118 (all three) also made it to 119. And the oldest living person in the world is now Maria Branyas Morera, born on 4 March 1907. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted January 17, 2023 So the top 10 list of world's oldest people becomes pretty boring once again. One point of interest – the world's new oldest living person, María Branyas Morera (b. 4 Mar 1907) will turn 116 in just 1.5 months, and if she sees 116 years, 48 days, she will become the oldest Spaniard ever.

Summer in Transylvania 2,172 Posted January 17, 2023 RIP Lucile Randon, as aforementioned the first person to die aged 118. Was thinking she might make it to 119, but anything can happen at that age. Still, she had good innings to get to 118, not only that but survive 27/28 years following a heart attack at the age of 91(!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted January 17, 2023 This death feels significant. When I joined this forum in 2008 there were plenty of people around who were born in 1907 (the birth year of the new oldest living person). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethel Caterham is now the second oldest women in Europe behind Morera and the oldest Brit is now older than the oldest French person. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically I didn’t find out she died due to here this time I actually found out while I was reading on the oldest people wiki and I found out she died and my reaction was “wtf she died?” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,695 Posted January 17, 2023 Rest in Peace Lucile Randon. 9 minutes ago, MortalCaso said: Updated Top 10? They will need to speed up verification if people continue to drop. Newcomer is Ushi Makishi. 1. Maria Branyas Morera 2. Fusa Tatsumi 3. Edie Ceccarelli 4. Tomiko Itooka 5. Inah Canabarro Lucas 6. Hazel Plummer 7. Kimiko Ono 8. Yasue Okai 9. Nina Willis 10. Ushi Makishi Not only is the oldest living person is 115, the top 10 now seems to be a particularly frail group: Tatsumi, Plummer, Okai and Willis are pretty much bedbound, Ceccarelli suffers from dementia, Makishi hasn't been seen in a while, MBS and Canabarro Lucas both as far as I know had some health scares in 2022 and while otherwise seemingly healthy Itooka survived a stroke and brain surgery at around 110. At #11, Shinobu Hayashi isn't validated atleast yet. Juan Vicente Perez Mora is at #13, we'll see if he makes it to the top ten. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,581 Posted January 17, 2023 Was she a DDP hit. She wasn’t selected last year but Kane Tanaka was a successful hit for many teams so I suspect some of them replaced Tanaka with her. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldhollywood 85 Posted January 17, 2023 Oh no, RIP I can’t see anybody matching her and Kane Tanaka for a relatively long time. Gonna be hard to keep track as much when it doesn’t feel so… groundbreaking. Also it’s sad that 1907 is the earliest anyone alive has lived through. I remember when the last person from the 1800s passed and that doesn’t feel too long ago 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
