Emma Morano

This makes very sad to read:

The last surviving person born in the 19th century died at her home in northern Italy last week. Emma Morano, 117, was the world’s oldest person, and attributed her longevity to her genetics and her diet of three eggs a day—two of them raw—as well as her decision to stay single. Violet Brown, who was born in Jamaica on March 10, 1900, is now the oldest person on Earth.

I'm certainty glad I saw the blurb, though, letting me know of her passing. We met Emma here and here.

Rest in Peace, Emma.

I read this in the April 28th edition of The Week Magazine.
