Ethel Caterham is 115 years and 8 months old. She lives at Hallmark Lakeview Luxury Care Home in the United Kingdom and recently became the oldest living person in the world after the passing of Brazilian nun and teacher Inah Canabarro Lucas.
Mrs. Caterham’s age has been officially verified, putting her almost a year ahead of the second-oldest person on the list, Marie-Rose Tessier of France. What’s more, this Briton – unless someone else that old is found – is the last person on the planet to have been born in the first decade of the 20th century.
