America's oldest woman who lived through two World Wars and a global pandemic has died at the age of 115.
Bessie Hendricks, born November 7, 1907 in Carroll County, Maryland, was said to be the oldest person living in the US when she passed away at Shady Oaks Care Centre in Salt Lake City on Tuesday.
Hendricks celebrated her 115th birthday at the home on Nov. 7 and was listed last year by the Los Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group as the country's oldest living person until her death.
