She lived to be 114-years-old, broke a world record and was alive to see her great-great grandchildren.
Yone Minagawa, named the world’s oldest person by the Guinness Book of World Records last January, passed away at a nursing home in southwestern Japan on Monday afternoon.
Minagawa, born January 4, 1893, outlived all of her children, except one daughter, and had seven grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
The next person in line to claim the title of the world’s oldest person is now Edna Parker, also 114, of Shelbyville, Indiana, born April 20th, 1893.
