What was the cause of death? Riotous living.
I keep warning all the 90 year-old's I know, but alas, they never learn!

Wow! She had so much to live for... she'd just adopted a cat.
To: Deo volente
When the journalist asked her (last month) to what she attributed her longevity, she replied, “Probably that I gave up tobaccy and hard likker.” He then, asked her when she did that, and she replied, “Oh, about three months ago.”
In all seriousness, though, the lady lived a good long life, and saw things that we can’t even imagine. May she rest in peace.

How do we know she was the oldest...did anybody still living actually witness her birth on her alleged birthday?
To: Deo volente
Amazing. When she was born, my house was only 6 years old. ;>)
I do hope that she had an enjoyable and meaningful life. My she now RIP.

The world is left without the world’s oldest person! It says, "LIVE," so I guess she must be:

This just leaves us with Keith Richards now. (Who merely looks like the world's oldest person.)
