The world’s oldest person, Tomiko Itooka, died the night of Dec. 29. She died from natural causes and lived to be 116 years and 220 days old.

Born in 1908, she raised four children, ran a family textile factory during World War II, and remained an avid hiker into her 80s.

Brazil nun named Inah Canabarro Lucas has become the world’s oldest person, as coined by the Guinness World Records, after the death of the previous title holder, Japan's Tomiko Itooka, in December. Lucas received this title for her age of 116 years 210 days. Lucas is not only the oldest person alive in this world but also the oldest nun and woman.
