Edna Parks, the recognised world's oldest person has died aged 115, she was born on 20th April 1893!
She died of natural causes in the nursing home, Shelbyville, Indiana where she moved after living with her sons who she then outlived, she also had 5 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and another 13 great-great-grandchildren! Mrs Parks never smoked or drank alcohol and led a very healthy and active life. She had also been a widow since 1939! But she never gave any tips as to how to live a good and fulfilled life throughout the last year she has been known as the worlds oldest person.
Now you may be wondering so who is the new oldest person? That would be Maria de Jesus dos Santos, who is also 115 but was born 5 months after Edna on the 10th September 1893, she lives in Portugal and like Edna has never drank or smoked in her life? Could this be the big secret as to living for so long!
