Brazilian nun Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, who was the world’s oldest person, died in Porto Alegre at age 116 on Wednesday.
A lifelong member of the Teresian Sisters and a devoted soccer fan, Sister Inah credited her longevity to faith, routine, and discipline.
Her passing passes the title to 115-year-old Ethel Caterham of Surrey, England. Caterham, born in 1909, is the last living subject of Edward VII.
A former au pair and Army wife who lived in India, Gibraltar, and Hong Kong, Caterham now resides in a nursing home and says her secret is “never arguing with anyone” and simply doing what she likes.
