CELEBRATE OUR 114 YEAR OLD

MS ELIZABETH FRANCIS

Houston, we have a celebration! At 114-years-old a Black woman living in Houston, has just become the oldest living person in America and fifth-oldest person on Earth, according to LongeviQuest and the Gerontology Research Group.

Francis became the new recordholder after California resident Edie Ceccarelli died on February 22 at 116-years-old. Among the people who live beyond the age of 110, or super centenarians, she is only “surpassed by Juan Vicente Perez Mora (Venezuela, 114), Inah Canabarro Lucas (Brazil, 115), Tomiko Itooka (Japan, 115), and Maria Branyas Moera (Spain, 116). Branyas was born several months before Ceccarelli.”

Elizabeth Francis was born in Louisiana on July 25, 1909. For context, this was shortly after William Taft’s presidential inauguration. During her lifetime, Francis has survived both World Wars, two pandemics, saw women gain the right to vote, and lived through segregation to see our nation’s first Black president.

LongeviQuest is an international organization that measures and records what it refers to as “maximum human longevity.” In a press release after her birthday last July, LongeviQuest CEO Ben Meyers stated, “Ms. Elizabeth Francis is admired around the world, both for her longevity and her approach to life…Reaching this milestone was never an aspiration for her, merely a byproduct of how she lived her life every day, doing right by her loved ones and by God. We can all learn from her example.”

Ethel Harrison, Francis’ granddaughter says that “Francis has some memory problems and is confined to her bed, but she’s mentally alert and recognizes her family.”

How did she achieve this feat? Dr. Holly Holmes, a geriatric physician, believes “Francis has done everything right when it comes to living longer…‘Things that we know we need to do like moving more, eating better, having a more plant-based diet, having social connections, avoiding loneliness and isolation.’”

Harrison echoed these sentiments, relaying how, “She tried to do things to stay healthy…Her life basically was pretty simple. She didn’t go out to parties and stuff like that. She was more of a homebody. She would go to church.” In addition, Harrison noted how her grandmother did refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol and that Francis was a regular walker up into her 90s.

But Francis has always attributed her long lifespan to God and saying what’s on her mind. “If the Good Lord gave it to you, use it. Speak your mind, don’t hold your tongue,” Francis says.

And longevity seems to be a family trait. Francis’ sister Bertha Johnson was 106-years-old when she passed away in 2011 and her father made it to 99. Per Western Mass News, “The sisters are among the sibling pairs with the oldest combined age in world history.” In addition, her daughter is 94-years-young, and Harrison who also serves as her caregiver is 68-years-old.

[ad_1] Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka, born before the start of World War I, who was believed to be the oldest person in the world, passed away at a nursing home in Japan’s Ashiya at the age of 116, The New York Times reported. Sad news today that the world’s oldest person Tomiko Itooka has died at the age of 116. Our thoughts are with her family.https://t.co/2UNvdrGFse — Guinness World Records (@GWR) January 4, 2025 She is survived by one daughter, one son and an unknown number of her five grandchildren. In a statement issued on Saturday, Ashiya Mayor Ryosuke Takashima said Itooka passed away last Sunday, The New York Times reported. He did not mention the cause of her death. However, local media reports said that she died peacefully due to complications related to old age. Ryosuke Takashima said, “I offer my deepest condolences.” He said, “Ms. Itooka gave us great courage and hope throughout her long life. I would like to express my gratitude once again.” Guinness World Records has expressed grief over her death. In a post shared on X, Guinness World Records said, “Sad news today that the world’s oldest person Tomiko Itooka has died at the age of 116. Our thoughts are with her family.” In September last year, the Guinness World Records declared Tomiko Itooka as the oldest living person following the death of Maria Branyas Morera of Spain at the age of 117. She publicly appeared in May 2024, when she celebrated her 116th birthday, and the city’s mayor visited her, according to Guinness World Records. Itooka was born Tomiko Yano in Osaka on May 23, 1908. She was one of the three children in a family that ran a clothing store. The New York Times reported that Japan was a rising imperial power that had defeated Russia in war and was embarking on expansion into mainland Asia. In the year of her birth, Japan signed an agreement with then-US President Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary of State that prevented conflict with the US in exchange for Washington recognizing Japan’s annexation of the Korean Peninsula. During her life, Itooka witnessed Japan emerge as an Asian colonial empire, fall in defeat in 1945 and rise again as an industrial giant and peaceful democracy. While growing up in pre-war Japan, she used to play volleyball in high school before getting married to the owner of a textile company, Kenji Itooka, The New York Times reported. She and her husband had two daughters and two sons. During World War II, she lived in Japan to run the business while her husband travelled to Korea, then a Japanese colony, to oversee a factory there. According to the Gerontology Research Group, which keeps a database of the world’s oldest people, “she single-handedly managed a Japanese office and raised her children during this period.” In 1979, Itooka’s husband passed away after 51 years of marriage. She then moved to Ashiya, where she was an avid hiker into her 80s. At the age of 100, Tomiko Itooka could climb the stone steps of her local Shinto shrine without using a can, the report said. When local news media once asked her about the secret of her longevity, she reportedly credited eating bananas and drinking Calpis, a Japanese dairy drink.
